or 35, but only if you ask for odd numbers between 10 and 50 where both digits are different.

42 is the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything.

No idea where 43 came from.

Oh, and if you ask a bunch of ladies in a pub they might come up with 69 which is a sort of magical number but thats a whole differerent type of magic.

"I try not to let it affect my life too much" and "Don't worry about it. Forget I said anything" are possibly the best responses ever in that situation. I might have to use those lines the next time I take credit for a coincidence.

Last time I asked someone to name any two digit number...

"132".

"Eh? What?"

"It's my door number".

It's obvious (if you're an internet geek). 443 is the default port for SSL. But it's over 100 and only an idiot would choose 44 so it has to be 43... :)
