TODAY WE'RE THROWING OUT SOME NUMBERS

By Mauro Marturano

On March 9, 2020, the intellectually lowest period of our lives began throughout Italy (and from there, throughout Europe). It seemed like the lowest point, but no... we never got back up! 😂

A quarantine of 3 cycles of 28 days began, for a total of 84 days. Count from March 9 to the end of the lockdown and you'll see I'm right. The hexadecimal value 28 equals 40 in decimal: meaning the number 28 (the days) and the number 40 (the quarantine) are linked by a mathematical relationship. Obviously the numbers weren't random. The only randomness is in the wandering of the handful of neurons the masses have in their heads.

Today I'll offer you some new numbers and a new game 😂, in a more playful, lighter version of the movie Saw 😂, where whoever failed to guess, and fast, didn't come to a good end! 😂

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has lost its external power supply 27 times since the conflict began in February 2022, according to updated data from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). 27, you'll agree 😂, is a number close to 28. And if that's any indication, a nuclear incident would also lead to the use of masks and closed windows. In short, to a quarantine — maybe not in the hardcore version we lived through 6 years ago, but if that's any indication...

The puzzle is whether their lordships still like the number 28, or whether they want to play a different number on the bingo card: because 27 is also a number very close to 33, likewise much beloved by their lordships.
