Anyone want to play a game? I thought of it last night.
 

Here's how it works. Each poster will post a number. The number has to have some significance, and each poster will guess what that significance is. The one that gets it right gets to post a new number.

For example, if I say 5280, the person who guessed the number of feet in a mile would be right and get to post their number.

The number can have significance in history(for example how many people died during a war) or significance in any other way. It can be fictional or non-fictional. It doesn't matter as long is the number is significant and pretty well known. Make sure the number is pretty well known though. Not something random like 30 - the number of times Ed Norton said "shit" in The 25th Hour - (I have no idea if that's right, I just made that up).

I'll start with a fairly easy one.

40

Five? I have no idea what it could possibly be, Mr. Landon. Whatever is five significant for?

The only prime number to end in 5.
