24

What is special about the number "24"???

 

•  The atomic number of chromium
• The number of teams that participated in each FIFA World Cup finals tournament between 1982 and 1994.
• The number of bits a computer needs to represent truecolour images (for a maximum of 16,777,216 colours). (But greater numbers of bits provide more accurate colors. "Truecolor" is one of many possible color representations.)
• The number of Carats representing 100% pure gold.
• The number of cycles in the Chinese solar year.
• The number of frames per second at which motion picture film is usually projected.
• The number of hours in a day.
• The number of points on a backgammon board.
• A Straight Edge symbol, for X is the 24th letter of the alphabet
• The Twenty-fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution is one of the Civil Rights-era amendments, abolishing poll tax requirements in federal elections.
• The number of letters in both the modern and classical Greek alphabet. For the latter reason, also the number of chapters or "books" into which Homer's Odyssey and Iliad came to be divided.

 

• And I'm glad I'm now 24.... :-)
