THE NUMBER 77

On June 18 at exactly 8:47 p.m,I made an Argentine national team "La Seleccion" customized jersey with the name CANDIA  inscribed at the back and the number 77 written boldly behind,on my facebook wall http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000592373799 thanks to a 2010 world cup jersey facebook ad http://apps.facebook.com/wcupjersey/ ,and before i knew it at exactly 9 hours and 5 minutes it had generated a comment from one Adia Lawrence

"That jersey no. stands for H H, meaning Hail Hitler, its racist- H is the seventh alphabet. Are u racist?"

This comment interested me so much that i felt leaving the subject of the number 77 un an mentioned about was inappropriate

According to the Wikipedia free encyclopedia the number 77 (seventy-seven) is the natural number following 76 and preceding 78,and that 9x8+5=77,8x9+10-5=77,8x7+10-6x2-60+9+8=77 quite an-interesting mathematics.
The number is a  representation of things in this world,scientifically,mathematically religiously,politically and even in sports

In certain numerological systems based on the English alphabet, the number 77 is associated with Jesus Christ. CHRIST is C=3, H=8, R=18, I=9, S=19, T=20, which added together equal 77. The letters of JESUS equal 74 (number) when added together: J=10, E=5, S=19, U=21, S=19. Thus, JESUS CHRIST 

For those of you who are old enough,During World War II in Sweden at the border with Norway, "77" was used as a Shibboleth (password), because the tricky pronunciation in Swedish made it easy to instantly discern whether the speaker was native Swedish, Norwegian, or German.

In the bible, certainly the best book ever, 77 is the number of times it is necessary to forgive offenses (Mt 18,22)and the generations of Adam to the Christ according to the evangelist of Luke are 77. (Lk 3,23-38)

The iridium, Ir, atomic number 77, is a white metal which the name is a derivative of the Greek word "iris" meaning" rainbow". It is under the sign of the rainbow that God concludes his Alliance between him and the humanity, and the Christian remains in this Alliance if he forgives 77 times the faults of his brothers (Mt 18,22).

The twelfth perfect number, number of which the sum of its dividers gives the same number, contains 77 numbers. Let us mention that the first five perfect numbers are 6, 28, 496, 8128 and 33550336. At the present time we know 24 perfect numbers, the last one being 2^19936 x (2^19937-1). That last number has 12003 numbers. All the known perfect numbers are even and we don't know if there is an odd perfect number.It is believed that,if a such number existed, it would be higher than 1036.

It was no coincidence that of all numbers i chose 77 simply because it works out for me and soon or later when i begin laying soccer for the national team The Cranes, i will probably pick this number 77.
