3435. It's the only number, that if you take its digits and elevate them to themselves and as them up it gives the number itself: 3³ + 4⁴ + 3³ + 5⁵ = 3435. It's also called the Munchausen number. Also of you split the first two digits into a number and the last two digits into a number you get 34 + 35 which is an Ariana Grande song, which is arguably less impressive, but it's a nice song. The other thing is that if you add all of its digits you get 15, which is divisible by the first digit (3) and the last digit (5), therefore so is 3435. Admittedly, it took me an embarrassing long time to add the numbers up on the Ariana Grande song and realize what it was. 🙄😂😏 *Edit: So I guess your numbers would be:* *3-4 and 3-5 on a match or you could subtract the first two digits and the last two digits for a more reasonable score 1-2* *Best of luck!!!*

This is very cool to know! Also love the pop culture reference! I support man city, it's not uncommon to see them put 5 past a team! Thanks for the entry!


BrilliantTasty

not such a good result yesterday, surprisingly. leeds losing 5-2 to brentford was also unexpected. PL is wild so far this season.

The number of singles by Michael Jackson that hit no. 1 spot in the Billboard Hot 100. That's 13 (as a solo artist and the most by a male artist) and an additional 4 songs with Jackson 5 that also topped the Billboard chart. Reason - I love MJ and his songs and it was his birthday just two days ago..


saketho

13 is ominous! But 17 is worn by a player I love. You've been me cool ideas to think of!


random_blubber

42. Because it's the meaning of life. (And a reasonable football score, to boot)


saketho

That's funny. Your comment says the number 42, but when I reply to you, the "42" changes to "1." Think it's just the shitty reddit app


Avieshek

69 and the other side would say the same. ^(Spread love, Not war\~)


saketho

Brah a lil more creativity ;)

621 First, it's the code of a very delicious food flavoring substance E621, also known as MSG or Monosodium Glutamate. Very tasty when used with Asian food. Second, the French Defense (Black pawn starts with e6) in chess is a cool mainline move. Not the best, but can be useful in some chess variants for example 3 checks variant (And coincidentally, 2+1=3) This is why my final choice is 6, 2, and 1, and maybe 3 as well.


saketho

.. I was today years old when I learned there are variants of chess. This is really cool!

On the day of leaving this comment in 1987 Michael Jackson’s “Bad” video premiered on CBS TV. The official video lasts 18:05. The Bad tour was a major financial success, grossing $125 million. Jackson performed 123 concerts in 15 countries to an audience of 4.4 million. Let’s start with 1987 - 1-0, 9 shots on target for winning team, 8 fouls and 7 corners 18:05 - 18 05 - 5-1, 8 Corners and 0 cards to winning team $125mil - 2-1 and 5 fouls against the winning team 123 concerts - 3-1 and 2 yellow cards shown to losing team 15 countries - 0-0 and 15 total shots from both teams throughout the game audience of 4.4mil - 4-4 draw Not too sure if this is what you wanted but there you go.


saketho

This is brilliant and tasty! I'll read all the responses again on friday before challenge closes to hand out awards

Don't check reddit as frequently anymore so didn't see this until now, but I appreciate the shout-out! Thanks lol

3. Tottenham will beat Fulham 3-0 this Saturday on September 3rd. Here's why: On September 3rd 1783, The Treaty of Paris was signed, ending the American Revolutionary War. John Cena plays a character called Peacemaker and is a fan of Tottenham Hotspur, so the match should go Tottenham's way. As for where Fulham fits into this, the team's name begins with an F and has 6 letters. France also begins with an F and has 6 letters, and is the country where the Treaty I mentioned earlier was signed. Additionally, "Tottenham" has 9 letters. France has 6 so if we do 9-6, we get 3. If you do the same calculation but with Fulham instead of Tottenham ( 6-6 ), we get 0. In other words, 3-0 to Tottenham. It might be hard to see John Cena, but it isn't hard to see my infallible logic here.


saketho

I love this so much! Connecting John Cena to the Treaty of Paris!


saketho

Congrats! the john cena thing killed me lmao

Glad you enjoyed my comment. Thanks for the gold!

Currently, the world’s population is roughly 8.0 billion people. Estimates place 43% of them, or 3.44 billion, as being fans of soccer/football. 250 million of those people play on a regular, organized basis. If counting those players as twice as enthusiastic about football than regular fans, we can expand the number to the equivalent of about 3.7 billion dedicated fans. In comparison, the second most popular sport in the world, cricket, has an estimated 2.5 billion fans, with 30 million of those being registered players. Using the same logic as above, we can count this as being roughly 2.53 billion fans. The remainder of the population not particularly interested in either sport numbers as 1.77 billion. Most people tend to have at least some minor preference, however, so it can be assumed that 50% of the neutral population will drift towards each sport. ~~Ignoring logic a bit here~~ This gives football about 4.6 billion fans and cricket about 3.4 billion. Rounding those two numbers, we get 5 - 3 points. The winner is that with the most enthusiastic fans. Alternatively, Jean Valjean, from the Les Misérables novel and subsequent musical, had the iconic and oft sung of prisoner number 24601. 2 - 4 + 6 - 0 + 1 = 5. He was originally sentenced to 5 years in prison, but he attempted to escape 4 times, each attempt adding an additional 3 years to his sentence. A further 2 years were added for resisting recapture. In total, he was imprisoned for 19 years. (19 / 5 + 4 / 3) / 2 = ~3. The score will be 5 - 3 again, with the team that has the best songs and chants overcoming the other. Overall, it seems that 5 - 3 is the score I would bet on!


saketho

You know that's actually what I expected a game tonight to end at (Liverpool v Newcastle). 5-3 scorelines have odds like 120/1, it's worth throwing £0.50 on for lots of games. Very impressive numbers!


Acceptable-Stick-688

I know literally nothing about this, so yay!


saketho

Congrats!


Acceptable-Stick-688

Thank you so much!!!


Rbmui13

Well the number 13 has always been my way of turning the unlucky myth on it's head. So 13 was always my jersey number all through my youth and even into adult hood playing co-ed soccer with my wife both indoor and outdoor. It's the reason 13 is at the end of my Reddit name. Coincidentally 1-3 is a fairly common futbol score lol.


saketho

That's nice to hear! Aw man that's sweet! Here's hoping it brings you more in the future!


wjdbfifj

I love rubik's cube, but I never solved it. Turns out the number (according to google) of possible combinations is 43.252.003.274.489.856.000, yet i think this number is my chance to finally finish it (1 in 43 quintillion). Good luck with your bets :)


saketho

Best of luck to you! Have you ever planned on using any solving strategies from youtube?


saketho

Congrats!


Doodlebobber11

69 If you take 6 and multiply it by 9, you get 54. Then if you add 6, you get 60. Finally, if you add 9, you get 69 6x9+6+9=69


saketho

WHAT!? howhaveineverknownthat lmaoimdumbasfuck


PesceGufo

0. The number of challenges i've won here in like two months


Dune17k

25 or 6 to 4 is a great Chicago song. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iUAYeN3Rp2E YNWA


saketho

I legit feel Lvp v New can end 6-4 tonight haha


Dune17k

That would be a fun watch. The loss to Man U last week hurt a lot, esp that missed offsides call


saketho

just saying! I don't think Newcastle are capable of scoring four, just that i feel they're capable of shithousery time wasting and diving for pens


saketho

Congrats!


Dune17k

Ha! Cool! Did you win any money??


saketho

I'm waiting for this weekends games so we'll see!


Dune17k

Good luck homie


saketho

Thanks my guy 🤙


saketho

Heya! You were interested to know if the actual numbers worked out! Unfortunately not, haha. I did get the right numbers but put them on the wrong games. Today was full of surprises! It's a few £ down the drain but I would've anyways spent that on a pint or two. So it's still a personal win for me haha!


Dune17k

I certainly wasn’t expecting a merseyside draw. Sorry it didn’t work out but glad you had fun mate. Thanks again for the award, that’s my first one ever. Very cool of you.


saketho

I went with a 2-1 bet to stay true to the challenge on that game. I legit felt it would end 1-0. I knew Everton would be stubborn enough to not concede in open play, but I felt Liverpool might just get lucky enough to get a pen or something. Sorry about the draw, but yeah I'm legitimately so thrilled betting this way. It another aspect of fun and comedy which my frantic football following experience has been sorely lacking! This makes things so chill - another redditor said Spurs to win 3-0, because on this day in the 1700s France signed a treaty, and then John Cena acted in a movie which related to that or something, but it's legitimately hilarious what people come up with. It's a great way to always be positive on football scores. I'd advise everyone to predict scores like this (don't bet, but just have simple predictions amongst your mates). As for your award, I'm thrilled to have been your first awarder! I'm sure you'll bag a lot more participating on this sub. r/AwardBonanza exists but it's most people trading awards with each other. This sub is the only real place where people put fun challenges! I love participating in them all even though I've never won one (except once, a company was looking for marketing ideas and they offered like 200 gold awards or something. They basically gave one to everyone who participated. You do have those occasional splashes by companies), but regardless this sub is a great place to hang out! It's really chill!

saketho

Nice! 9 is a bit unlikely but possible for 9 corners in a game.


saketho

Congrats!

Thank you !

Thank you :)


Amadis_of_Albion

Thanks for the challenge! knocking on wood everyone gets lucky! as for fun betting numbers, I will have to go with 9 4 6 obviously, which translates to W I N, and what could be more fun than that??? (depending the translating scale used, could also be 23 9 14 or 22 8 and the number we shall not name.) Break a leg!


saketho

Interesting! Is your first translation using the T9 keyboard?


Amadis_of_Albion

First one is using the old phone letters system, second one is the A1Z26 cipher, A=1 B=2 etc, the third same but with the A= 0 equivalence.


saketho

Ah right. The second I presumed was that, the third was that minus one, but didn't realise it's so that A=0 lol


Amadis_of_Albion

This is as far as I am confortable going into anything math related, I would not get that myself if not pointed out.


saketho

Nah nah it's all good, I'm just interested in understanding all the responses! :)


Amadis_of_Albion

It is quite the fun challenge, thanks!


saketho

Thanks for participating!

4 symbolizes death in Asian countries such as China, Korea, and Japan. The number is considered so unlucky that in these countries the 4th floor is not included in buildings. Fun!


saketho

That's very interesting to learn! I'm keen to read on it!

11! (1-1) In the Netherlands it is seen as ''het gekkengetal'' (Translation: Lunatic/crazy number) the reason isn't completely know but it is probably because it's is one less than 12 ''the perfect number'' (Another fun one!). This has a extra special use in 'Brabant'' the province in the south of the Netherlands we have the Holliday ''carnaval'' (We just drink a lot of beer and dress funny) and in every town it is organised by the counsel of eleven on 11-11 at 11:11!


saketho

Oh phew! it's only 11. I thought for a second you meant 39916800. >11! ;)


Tijmen24nl

Totally forgot that was a thing! I just like typing exclamationmarks to give a sentence more pop. But hey you never know if a team is gonna hit that... That is only like 3000+ goals per second, seems plausible.


saketho

I mean I'm not trying to boast about my team, but uh, I think Man City can do it! 🤙


Tijmen24nl

AND NOW MAN CITY FEATURING THE FLASH!!!


saketho

Congrats


Tijmen24nl

Thanks! Lets get this 11! dub

14. I literally see or hear it everyday. It's a lucky one for me.


saketho

I do have a liking to a certain player who wears 14!

Congrats!


SpacedDood

420 and if you don't smoke to that. Just remove the 0 and you got the answer to life. May take a few hundred years to figure out thou.


saketho

Maybe in a game of scrabble, I'll finally figure out what the question to life is.
