Do people see there team number often then others?

[Briansmithtown]

For example, late in the morning, or late at night, if i check the time it would be 8:10... Or once my school lunch account had $8.10 for the amount left.

Clocks. 8:57 is about when weekday meetings end, and I see it in the morning.

Also, I've seen 857 in lottery numbers, video games, the number of days in panel 6 of this xkcd, homework problems (especially if the team's teacher wrote it ), the decimal form of 1/7 (0.142857...)

That would be the result of the frequency illusion/"Baader-Meinhof phenomenen" at work.

[Shrub]

Always. It haunts me even in my dreams. I can never get away from those 2 digits in that particular order...

It would also seem that perhaps certain team numbers are more common than others.

Yes all the time, I go to McDonald's price comes out too 716. Whenever I glance at my click it's often 716 there were many other sequences too

My team numbers are both four digit numbers that do not appear on clocks. (2771 and 4967). I see many other team numbers more frequently because the 2 and 3 digit numbers are easier to find. However, there have been times when I notice my own numbers or even sometimes numbers that are very similar.

Somewhat related, I also exclusively use FRC team numbers when punching in times for the microwave.

I don't often see my own, but I find myself looking at the clock at 11:14 almost daily.

Yeah, Simbotics time (11:14) and Bedford Express time (10:23) seem to happen a fair bit.

[brandon.cottrell]

I always seem to be looking at a clock at 3:30...

[Canon reeves]

11:14 twice a day

Funny, so do I. Mainly because I get off of work at that time.

Now, 1197 doesn't exist as a clock time, but I've gotten it a couple times on receipts from various places, usually as the amount.

469 has been known to take a slight detour around Indianapolis.

[Garvs72]

Doesn't happen often for my team number (3061), but I ALWAYS notice school rooms 148 and 118, 254 seems to pop up everywhere, and like the guy who posted earlier, 11:14 is a strangely common time for me to look at the clock
