Two times Two times Thirteen

A deck of cards (without jokers).

The white keys on an 88 key piano.

Weeks in a year, rounded off to the nearest week.

And me.


I'm divisible by 13 (and 2 and 2), and sometimes added into metal alloys.

I'm 52 today, and as I always do, I sent off a check in the amount of my age, to the New York Times Neediest Cases Fund. It's my little way of marking my birthday.

  4. Happy birthday! While I don't believe the number because you look a lot younger than 52, I do like math games :-)

    Mine is just one day before yours - this year, I'm the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything. We between-Christmas-and-NYs babies have to stick together. ;)

  16. You made me do math, but I forgive you--mostly because, like most of your commenters here, I'm charmed as hell by the idea of making a donation. Yes.
