Listen up, you Illuminati, Opus Dei, Freemasons, and Skull & Bones Society; there's a new secret society in town. The Order of 37 was founded by eccentric mathematicians tired of mainstream numbers getting all the glory. Pi, Fibonacci, Mersenne and the Catalan numbers were such show-offs. But 37? It was the unsung hero of the number world.
Members, known as "Threesevenians, believed that one of their own discovered that 37 was not just a number but a portal to another dimension – a dimension where pi ends and where the square root of two is a nice, neat whole number. To access this, one must write the number 37 precisely 37 times while standing on one leg and humming the theme from "We Are the Champions".
If this is thought-provoking, you are at the right place. Listen on.

[00:00:00] So, just like Don Qt, a quest for Funifacts, continues and closer to Irish home
[00:00:20] in good old Scotland, I found one funny fact.
[00:00:24] So, apparently in the year 2007, Scotland spent about 6 months of research and $162,972
[00:00:36] to create a new slogan that would boost tourism.
[00:00:40] And guess what they came up with?
[00:00:43] Any guesses?
[00:00:44] Welcome to Scotland.
[00:00:56] So, anyway, so anyway all of a sudden I wanted to be search agency was and who the ad agency was.
[00:01:04] So, I was just thinking she thought that is a great opportunity there for that.
[00:01:09] So, I thought when to do it.
[00:01:11] I don't even know whether people like us can even try.
[00:01:16] That's a way of our way of our way of our way.
[00:01:20] So anyway, so anyway, I said okay, I can definitely do better than that.
[00:01:26] So, I said let me continue thinking.
[00:01:29] And so, historically or statistically it seems over a large population size if you ask
[00:01:37] people to choose a random number.
[00:01:41] If you get enough of a sample size they gravitate towards the number 37, just completely weird.
[00:01:47] So, but it seems that people prefer odd numbers, people prefer prime numbers.
[00:01:53] And if it's a shorter sample people choose 7 and the colour blue.
[00:01:58] But in a 100 distribution they gravitate towards 73, 30, so 37 seems to be a big thing.
[00:02:05] So, I said okay, shallow this must be the end of it.
[00:02:07] But no there is a whole organization called some 37.
[00:02:11] They just find things that happen 37 times okay.
[00:02:14] There is a whole organization.
[00:02:16] And so, I thought wow, this is I mean somebody is even less free or more free than me.
[00:02:22] So, you know so there is this what it's called 37.org and you would be shocked.
[00:02:29] So they have there are 37 holes in the mouthpiece of her telephone.
[00:02:33] There are 37 bars in the digits of a digital watch.
[00:02:38] Then there were 37 extra marital affairs in the series Dallas during the 1980s.
[00:02:45] Okay, there are all MX cards start with the number 37.
[00:02:51] And it just goes on and on like that.
[00:02:54] William Shakespeare wrote 37 plays.
[00:02:56] There are 37 concerts in Michael Jackson's victory tour in the summer of 1984.
[00:03:02] And this just so I said wow man, I said this was too much and I think I thought it was a definite shareable moment.
[00:03:11] The beauty of the number 37.
[00:03:13] Let's go and check if our 37th episode did it.
[00:03:16] But that's a good idea.
[00:03:19] Random.
[00:03:20] Random.
[00:03:22] Okay.
[00:03:23] And then we'll send it to them saying that we figured that in all the episodes that we've done are 37th episode.
[00:03:30] Just to add to their deal.
[00:03:32] We must.
[00:03:33] So from 37 I thought we have not re-wisted any, you know, our favorite topic which is crypto and blockchain.
[00:03:44] So this one is more crypto.
[00:03:46] We are all favorite topic.
[00:03:48] I have declared our favorite topic.
[00:03:52] Our favorite topic.
[00:03:56] So I thought let me go and check some, I mean, everyone is aware of the disproportionate wealth.
[00:04:02] Some people have made crypto.
[00:04:04] But this was an interesting one.
[00:04:06] So there is the youngest cryptocurrency millionaire in the world.
[00:04:11] His name is Eric Finman.
[00:04:14] And what I thought, I mean, what I found strange was that he's, he's I think 1920 years old now and he has 433 Bitcoin.
[00:04:24] So the value is somewhere around, I think, I mean 3 million or so maybe more.
[00:04:31] So that is a value of his, his Bitcoin.
[00:04:34] But he bought this Bitcoin when he was 12 years old.
[00:04:38] And his grandma had given him $1,000.
[00:04:42] Okay? As a, you know, part of his college fund.
[00:04:46] And at 12 he decided no okay.
[00:04:49] Let me go ahead and buy bitcoins from those $1,000.
[00:04:54] And his network now is over 3 million.
[00:04:58] So he's the youngest cryptocurrency millionaire.
[00:05:01] Okay. So this, you don't pick term on episode on the stock market still being the most.
[00:05:07] I think he is many many times the stock market.
[00:05:11] Yes.
[00:05:12] So yeah, maybe we should add that into the stock market at this.
[00:05:16] And just continuing on that this thing, note, I'm sure most Eric Finman might be a bit unknown.
[00:05:23] But you would be aware of Winkle was brothers.
[00:05:26] So they invested a part of their settlement that they got from Mark Zuckerberg for, you know, from Facebook.
[00:05:33] They, they put about 11 million of their compensation.
[00:05:37] They got I think 60 plus million and they put 11 million of that compensation and bought bitcoins.
[00:05:43] And it was $120 a piece at that time.
[00:05:47] And it is, they had around 91,000 bitcoins, you know, for they bought.
[00:05:53] Today it is going at around 650 million dollars.
[00:05:58] So yeah, big money bigger bigger, you know,
[00:06:03] gains.
[00:06:05] But the, another interesting fact with this whole, especially bitcoin and crypto is that 20% of existing bitcoins are in wallets that have their owners have no access either they are lost or blocked.
[00:06:21] And that value is 100 and over 140 billion dollars.
[00:06:26] So 20% of Bitcoin under multiple stories of Bitcoin last, we will not go into that at 140 billion is lost.
[00:06:36] I want to know what the two of you are doing in unblocked.
[00:06:39] Why aren't you unblocking these things?
[00:06:42] So much to be able to access to it.
[00:06:47] So I actually found which was the 27th episode, okay, at 37th episode was the one we did about
[00:06:55] Gennis and Van Gogh and that immersive experience.
[00:06:59] Okay, so what I did was I went and found out what is the, you know, the correlation between the number 37 and Ireland.
[00:07:08] So what I found was that the 37th amendment of the Irish constitution,
[00:07:13] it actually removes the constitutions requirement to criminalize publication of utterance of blasphemous material.
[00:07:22] I don't know if that has got any significance, what is the significance?
[00:07:27] Basically they figured that after having a couple of Irish beers there is no way that it will not be blasphemous.
[00:07:36] So remove it from the long home.
[00:07:40] So some of our listeners may not be aware of the fact, much as if you were,
[00:07:45] it's a venomous nerve of our across from the early days.
[00:07:50] Then you will know that Samira is a very, very proud dog sort of.
[00:07:56] In fact he has this T-shirt which he wears which is dog father, written in that Godfather's Skyland order.
[00:08:03] And let me tell you that he have to go looking for things for his pet with him shopping can become quite difficult.
[00:08:10] He buys for friends and family faster than he buys for his pet.
[00:08:16] So Samira, here's something just so that you do not have anxiety if you ever have to be your pet behind sort of a couple of days over ever.
[00:08:28] So this is young student high school student from one of the schools in California who designed an ingenious auto-pop
[00:08:39] that is an automatic dog pet.
[00:08:44] So it acts as a human hand for your dog when you can't give the dog the real deal which is pet your dog and your not a dog.
[00:08:53] And one of her professors actually said that he would never work because she gave this automatic dog better to his dog
[00:09:02] than he would chew the hand of.
[00:09:05] But she and her friends were doing this research for convenience so they went to his animal shelters and all of that.
[00:09:11] And the animal shelter dogs absolutely loved it.
[00:09:15] So so, Mira just in case you decide that you have to travel then you have separation anxiety.
[00:09:24] I don't know if the reverse should apply maybe we should do a dog for humans as in a healthy home to sleep.
[00:09:34] It's she building the visit already a unicorn by the chance.
[00:09:39] I mean there is a huge amount of it is in but I believe that when I read it it said that she was planning to give up.
[00:09:47] Oh, sure.
[00:09:49] But I thought it was a video.
[00:09:51] I thought it was a video.
[00:09:52] So I, but I tell you this is actually like a western piece in India we just throw people at this problem.
[00:09:59] So we have to go somewhere and either we take the dog or then we have a very complex duty roster that is created for who is going to come and really.
[00:10:12] First of all problems.
[00:10:14] We just throw people at every day.
[00:10:19] That's true we have so many of them.
[00:10:24] So on that happy note of technologies on the problems or people are being problems.
[00:10:31] That brings us to be a number of another one of our shorts and we hope you had as much fun listening to it as we had recording it.
[00:10:39] And we hope you stay tuned into both our short as well as our long episodes.
[00:10:44] Our long episodes are going quite assassinated because we recently interviewed Sidi time from Began protocol and we've done some other very, very interesting interviews.
[00:10:57] So stay tuned in and make sure that we listen to everything that we have to say bye.
