I just uploaded a video about the so-called Lucky Numbers.
These numbers are derived using a sieve-type algorithm developed by the acclaimed mathematician Stanislaw Ulam.
The video explains what they are:
The first lucky numbers are 1, 3, 7, 9, 13, 15, 21, 25, 31, 33, 37, 43, 49, 51, 63, 67, 69, 73, 75, 79, 87, 93 and 99.
Checking a few facts, I was just reading a about Stanislaw Ulam.
It turns out he was born and dies on the 13th of the month (13 Apr 1909 - 13 May 1984).
13 is lucky number!
He lived to be 75 years old - another Lucky Number.
And the year of his birth - 1909 - was also the year a film called "The Lucky Number" was released.
