The Seventh Day of Christmas
The Seventh Day of Christmas. When rolling two dice, there number seven is the statistically most likely result (1-in-6 chance). There are seven Millennium Prize Problems (mathematical conundrums that each carry a $1 million prize for whoever can solve them; six currently remain unsolved). Each airplane in Boeing's line of passenger jets is named with a three-digit number that begins and ends with a seven (737, 747, 777, etc.). There are seven deadly sins (gluttony, greed, sloth, pride, envy, wrath, lust) and Catholicism has seven heavenly virtues as counterpoints (temperance, charity, diligence, humility, kindness, patience, chastity). The Earth has seven continents, and there are Seven Wonders of the ancient world. The number seven was worn by and subsequently retired in honor of sports legends Mickey Mantle (MLB, Yankees), John Elway (NFL, Broncos), and Phil Esposito (NHL, Bruins). There are seven days in a week, seven days of the feast of Passover, seven days of Creation in the Book of Genesis in the Bible, seven levels of heaven and hell in the Islamic faith, and seven gods of good fortune in Japanese mythology. The "Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two" is a popular psychological paper, often cited for it's postulation that the number of things a human can hold in working memory is seven plus or minus two (also called Miller's Law). Isaac Newton identified the seven colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet), and the Series 7 Exam is the test taken by U.S. stockbrokers in order to get a license to trade.
