33

I feel compelled to post this because kenclare had 23 yesterday and someone else (who?) had 33 the day before.  I noticed it at the time - another 33. I had planned to put it up.

Whatever the number, it makes a fine image, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Ray.

Strong autumn picture. An improvement on wednesday's ice smile
Mary MacADNski: I agree.
tis a nice image to boot....

33 . . . significant?

Cheers

Mary MacADNski: It was in a nine hole golf course. It is not the 33rd hole. I can't figure out what it means.

very attractive way to number a block, assuming that is its purpose

Fair enoughgrin
Mary MacADNski: Why do you suppose it is sitting there by itself in a golf course?

33 is the largest positive integer that cannot be expressed as a sum of different triangular numbers Mary. It is also the smallest odd repdigit that's not prime (unless we consider 1-digit integers to also be repdigits).

33 is the eighth distinct biprime comprising the prime factors (3 • 11). Its aliquot sum is 15; itself a discrete biprime (3 • 5) in the following Aliquot sequence 33,15,9,4,3,1,0. (Note 33 is the 8th composite number to descend into the prime number 3, the others outside of this sequence being 30,26,16,12) Since 33 is a semiprime with both its prime factors being Gaussian primes, 33 is a Blum integer.

The sum of the first four positive factorials is 33. Adding up the sums of divisors for the 1 through 6 yields 33. 33 is the smallest integer such that it and the next two integers all have the same number of divisors.

It is also the first member of the first cluster of three biprimes (33,34,35); the next such cluster is (85,86,87).

Since the greatest prime factor of 332 + 1 = 1090 is 109, which is obviously more than 33 twice, 33 is a Størmer number
Mary MacADNski: I just asked my son who has been away for a month the meaning. He is a member of the golf course the stone is on. It is a memorial for the groundskeeper who died of a sudden heart attack a few years ago. He does not know the significance of the number 33. I know it was not the man's age.
You are maintaining a fine tradition Mary.
Mary MacADNski: I wish I knew what it means. It was in a nine hole golf course.
Fine capture Mary.
Isn't 33 the death age of the Christ?
Mary MacADNski: I have no idea. This was in a golf course. I don't know why.
Strange one Mary, lovely colours though and they keep the brass clean.

I got lost on Chris' comment Mary, suffice it to say that I love these big brass numbers.

It would be interesting to know what it means Mary...Whatever..it makes a good image.

Nice shot Mary! I like the framing!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Reflecteur. I took another shot that I like better for framing.
"33" is obviously meant as a tribute to the long-playing record. smile
