1c in hex
FS in ASCII
M in baudot5
1 base 28
It is a composite number, its proper divisors being 1, 2, 4, 7, and 14.
Twenty-eight is the second perfect number. As a perfect number, it is
related to the Mersenne prime 7, since 2(3 − 1)(23 − 1) = 28. The next
perfect number is 496, the previous being 6.
Twenty-eight is the third Granville number. The next Granville number is
96, the previous being 24.

The number of days in the shortest month of the Gregorian calendar,
February (except in leap years, when there are twenty-nine). All twelve
months of the Gregorian calendar have at least 28 days, regardless of
the year.
The Gregorian calendar follows a 28-year cycle for the most part,
since there are seven days in a week and leap year generally occurs
every four years; usually, a calendar from any year is the same as that
from 28 years earlier (e.g., 2008 and 1980 or 2009 and 2037). However,
that rule holds only when there have been exactly seven leap days in a
28-year interval; years divisible by 100 but not by 400 are not leap
years. Indeed, 1900 (as well as 2100, 2200, etc.) does not use the same
calendar as 1872 (2072, 2172, etc., respectively) for the simple reason
that 1900 is not a leap year. In 28 years, any day-of-the-week and date
combination occurs exactly four times. February 29 will fall on each day
of the week once.
In Jewish tradition there is a 28-year solar cycle in which the sun
returns to its place in Creation every 28 solar years. This is
commemorated in April every 28 years with the recitation of Birkat

Deriving from the 29.46 year period of Saturn's revolution around
the Sun, the 28-year cycle as well as its subdivisions by 14 and 7 are
supposed in Astrology to mark significant turning points or sections in
the course of a persons development in life. Thus, the number 28 has
special significance in the culture of religious sects such as the
Kadiri and the Mevlevi dervishes. The 28-beat metric pattern often used
in the music compositions accompanying the main part of the Mevlevi sema
ritual is called the "Devri kebir", meaning the "Big Circle" and is a
reference to above astronomical facts about the year and the Saturn year.
In Quebec, François Pérusse, in one of his best-selling Album du
peuple made a parody of Wheel of Fortune in which all of the letters
picked by the contestant were present 28 times. As a result, 28 became

28" (There are 28 [Letters]) became a running gag still used and
recognized more than 15 years later.

Could it be that the ping-pong balls they use to pick lotto numbers are being affected? The ball with "50" would weigh wore than the # "1" ball, right? (paint) I guess 88 (if it existed in the lotto) would be the most heavy ball. If that's true then its not a completely "random" pick. . -- They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Ben Franklin

Do they have backspace on ATM machines? I'll wait to the 28th to try it!
