ReplyDelete1: Yes, 43 is a prime number.
2: As a prime number, the only factors of 43 are 1 and 43.
3: Roman numerally, 43 = XLIII
4: No, longitude lines do not circle. This is because they are designated as degrees from 0 to 180 in each direction. Once longitude 43W reaches the poles, it changes to longitude 137E.
5: The Gospel of John is the 43rd book of the bible.
6: There are five books of the Bible with at least 43 verses: Genesis, the Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah, & Ezekiel. All Old Testament. Job comes up just short at 42.
7: I read the whole Bible and I was unable to find any occurrences of forty-three or forty and three.

10: George W. Bush was 43rd president of the US.
11: Yuck. Bdellium is an aromatic gum secreted from a tree. A Wal-Mart version of Myrrh.
12: 41 + 2 = 43. All are prime numbers.
13: Well, odd numbered book pages are on the right hand side. The number 43 would designate the 43rd page.
14: I'm going to say North. Odd numbered interstates run N-S. Exits are numbered beginning at the southern state border and increase moving north. Exit 43 should lie at any point between Marker 42 and 43.
15: I'm going to go with November 19, which is 42 days before January 1 in a standard year.
16: My cardinal age is 43. Ordinally, I am beginning my 44th year.
