Re: Is 6 the perfect number?
6 = 3 + 2 + 1 so it is the sum of its own proper divisors and thereby satisfies the definition of a perfect number.
But I guess that is not what you meant.

EDIT: there are other perfect numbers, for example 28 = 14 + 7 + 4 + 2 + 1. So 6 is not "the" perfect number.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
