	Lucky number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A lucky number is a natural number in a set which is generated by a "sieve" similar to the Sieve of Eratosthenes that generates the primes.
		He named them "lucky" because of a connection with a story told by the historian Josephus.
		Lucky numbers share some properties with primes, such as asymptotic behaviour according to the prime number theorem; also Goldbach's conjecture has been extended to them.

	13 (number) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus they consider 13 to be their "lucky" number as it is the opposite of 13 being the "unlucky" number.
		The number is also considered unlucky by some as it is the sum of 1-4-5-3, the year of the fall of Constantinople to the Turks, marking the end of the Byzantine Empire, though it may be considered lucky by Turks, on the same basis!
		Besides being the number of people sitting at the Last Supper, it's also the number of Gods (there were 12) at a banquet that was crashed by the evil spirit Loki (making 13) who killed one of the guests with a poison arrow.

	Lucky prime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A lucky prime is a number that is a prime number and a lucky number.
		Twin lucky primes occur less often than twin primes in general, but in a similar proportion.
		Twin primes are primes which are separated by two (example 5 and 7); these are only rare due to the methods by which lucky numbers are determined.

		For the first few days, select a lucky number together as a class, have a student load the correct number of blocks on the Counter, and have all students represent the number using drawings, stamps, and fill-in paper.
		Have all students complete the fill-in paper for the lucky number of the day and then make their own representations of the lucky number by using stamps and drawings.
		For example, if the lucky number is 47, have students represent the number using 4 blocks-of10 and 7 ones, 3 blocks-of-10 and 17 ones, 2 blocks-of-10 and 27 ones, and so on.

		Date: 05/11/98 at 05:54:10 From: Matt Dellit Subject: Lucky Number A lucky number is one for which the sum of its digits is divisible by 7.
		If you play with the numbers for a while, it becomes clear that most of the time there is a lucky number every 9 numbers, so to get every 12 we need to find a "strange" area in terms of the sum of digits.
		For example, using the numbers from problem b: number remainder when we divide by 7 ---------------------------------------- 994 1 995 2 996 3 997 4 998 5 999 6 1000 1 1001 2 1002 3 1003 4 1004 5 1005 6 And we find 12 numbers in a row that are not lucky numbers.

		The value of the number eight is also tied to the Chinese affinity for homonyms.

		The number eight doesn't have the same appeal to the Japanese or Koreans--whose cultures have been influenced by the Chinese--but all three cultures are united in their avoidance of the number four.
