I'm not telling if I look...Here are my answers. I'm not telling if I looked them up beforehand. But definitely some of them I knew without consulting any reference material. You'll have to trust me on that.<br /><br />1: Yes, 43 is a prime number.<br /><br />2: As a prime number, the only factors of 43 are 1 and 43.<br /><br />3: Roman numerally, 43 = XLIII<br /><br />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.<br /><br />5: The Gospel of John is the 43rd book of the bible.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />7: I read the whole Bible and I was unable to find any occurrences of forty-three or forty and three.<br /><br />8: Numbers is a census of the Tribes of Israel.<br />(full disclosure, that was my unaided guess. The actual answer is Reubenites.)<br /><br />9: The Gem state, Idaho, is the 43rd United State.<br /><br />10: George W. Bush was 43rd president of the US.<br /><br />11: Yuck. Bdellium is an aromatic gum secreted from a tree. A Wal-Mart version of Myrrh.<br /><br />12: 41 + 2 = 43. All are prime numbers.<br /><br />13: Well, odd numbered book pages are on the right hand side. The number 43 would designate the 43rd page.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />15: I'm going to go with November 19, which is 42 days before January 1 in a standard year.<br /><br />16: My cardinal age is 43. Ordinally, I am beginning my 44th year.<br /><br />17: See answer 4: Longitude 137E.<br /><br />18: Number 44 in base 43 would be written as 11.<br /><br />19: Number 43 in binary is 101,011. I did this manually.<br /><br />20: 43 minutes before 3am is 2:17am.azkaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059409175941580953noreply@blogger.com
