 Number Two
Number Two was the apparent boss in the Village in the British television show The Prisoner.
While he was not the only actor to play Two more than once (Colin Gordon[?] also Two twice), he was the only actor to play the "same" Two more than once (the Two of episode 16 returns in episode 17).
All the people who became Number Two were establishment figures (who had done governmental work previously?) and who were there to get information out of the Villagers, most notably Number Six.

 2 (number) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two is the smallest and the first prime number, and the only even one (for this reason it is sometimes humorously called "the oddest prime").
Two is a factor of ten, so vulgar fractions with 2 in the denominator do not yield infinite decimal expansions, as is the case with most primes.
Two is the base of the simplest numeral system in which natural numbers can be written concisely, being the length of the number a logarithm of the value of the number (whereas in base 1 the length of the number is the value of the number itself); the binary system is used in computers.

He proved this by assuming that there were a finite number of primes and prime N was the biggest prime.
This new number is not divisible by any of the primes that were multiplied together, therefore it is either a prime itself, or it is a product of a prime larger than the one we earlier assumed to be the largest prime.

At the end of the calculator wars, basically two types of calculators have survived: Specialized business or scientific calculators made by large companies such as Casio, Texas Instruments Sharp, and Hewlett Packard, and regular four-function calculators made by a very wide range of companies.
The use of a mouse to click on the keys of a software calculator is highly inconvenient, especially when the number of digits is relatively large (which is usually the case when you have to resort to the use of a calculator).

Sometimes they may ask for two mean proportionals between a pair of numbers, and that is a lot tougher to work all the way through.
But there is an easier way, and it will work for any number of "mean proportionals." If we look at the sequence of numbers in a mean proportional, we (sooner or later) notice a pattern.
Here are the two we have used so far: 4, 6, 9 and: 3, 6, 12, 24 The second pattern is easier to see.

 We're number two!
A common occurrence we encounter is a CEO or a vice president communicating downward to the search manager the mantra “we want to be in the number-one position at all cost.” Another scenario is when the search manager or vendor wants to impress superiors or the client and bids for the top spot irrationally.
When two or three companies all have the “top position” mentality, they almost always start a bidding war with each other, constantly raising bids until the top two or three bids are way out of tune with what's economically viable.
The time is now for marketers to set aside the “number one at all costs” mentality and start acknowledging the reality that being number one means very little other than that you are most likely losing the battle against your competitors in lower positions.

According to Vincent Hopper, "nothing in the history of number symbolism is so striking as the unanimity of all ages and climates in regard to the meanings of a few number symbols." He refers to this as elementary number symbolism.
The number two appears to always have carried with it the idea of duality, of opposites and mutual antithesis, as we've seen with the Pythagoreans.
Forty is the number of trial and privation, possibly starting when the Babylonians observed the forty-day disappearance of the Pleides which coincided with the rainy season, storms and floods, trial, danger.

 The Largest Known Primes (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The problem of distinguishing prime numbers from composite numbers and of resolving the latter into their prime factors is known to be one of the most important and useful in arithmetic.
Because the way the largest numbers N are proven prime is based on the factorizations of either N+1 or N-1, and for Mersennes the factorization of N+1 is as trivial as possible (a power of two).
These are the easiest type of number to check for primality on a binary computer so they usually are also the largest primes known.

Still, considering that the company's Sansa players have none of the iPod's cachet, and don't even get much respect from the Cowon/Creative/iRiver-loving anything-but-iPod crowd, number two seems like a good place to be.
