Ranking The Numbers 1-10

Top Ten: Ranking The Numbers 1-10

In the day and age of lists and rankings, it's only fitting that we put together our official ranking of the numbers one through ten. Some of them may surprise you:

#10 - 6

Let's face it: 6 is dull. It doesn't sprout new life and provides very little hope in terms of numerical data. It's last on our ranking simply because it the daftest of digits. I spit on you, six.

#9 - 4

I know what you're thinking -- how can four be ranked ninth overall? I assure you we're not discriminating against even numbers. You're just applying that connotation simply because a basic pattern has been observed. Stop while you're ahead please.

#8 - 2

There you go again with the even numbers bull crap. There is no discrimination. It's simply how the data falls into place. All the number 2 means is "not one" and "not three." It is demeaning and presents no real reward. No one cares.

#7 - 10

Alright, ten is a tough one. It's sleek, it's sexy, but it's too much work. It's so tough to muster up the energy for that second digit, and frankly, it's rarely ever worth it.

#6 - 5

Five is too indicative. Two straight lines and then some three-quarter circle crap. Meh.

#5 - 8

Eight is great -- but not that great. It ranks fifth because it is adequate. It's fun, exciting, but also brings several connotations like paganism and veganism.

#4 - 9 

Nine is a silky smooth digit that brings a lot to the table. The great philosopher Archimedes believed nine brought a lot to the table. It's not number one, certainly brings a lot to the table.

#3 - 3

3

#2 - 1

It's controversial, but makes perfect sense. 1 is old news and needs a reality check. Times are changing and digits change and evolve over time. History does have a chance of repeating itself, so 1 could make a comeback in the near future.

#1 - 7

The granddaddy of all digits - number 7 has it all going. It looks like 1, but don't let it fool you. It's sleek look is a modern twist on a new number one, and it looks to hold the top spot for years to come.
