The seven most widely recognized magic > numbers as of 2007 are 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, and 126. well there is a 2, in 28 then you have 2, 8, which is 28 then 20, which is 2, 8, 20 = a 28 then you have 28, skip 50 (i don't know how it got in there, must be some mistake) then you have 126, 6 +2 is 8 that's 1 28 it must be magic. Do they have backspace on ATM machines? I'll wait to the 28th to try it!
