A few fun facts about 20:

* 20 is the smallest primitive abundant number.

* An icosahedron has 20 faces.

* A dodecahedron has 20 vertices.

* 20 can be written as the sum of three Fibonacci numbers uniquely, i.e. 20 = 13 + 5 + 2.

* There are a total of 20 different possible moves that you can legally play at the beginning of a game of chess.

* The atomic number of the chemical element Calcium is 20. Calcium is actually a metal thatā€™s alkaline in nature, but most people are familiar with it due to its high concentration in milk.

* If someone has 20/20 vision it means that they have perfect eyesight. The idea behind this is that if you can read a specific set of letters on a chart at a distance of 20 feet, then your vision couldnā€™t get any better! Although the metric equivalent of this would be 6/6, with perfect vision at 6 meters, most countries that use the metric system still refer to it as 20/20.

* In the sixteenth century, a Hungarian king called Mathius Corvinus declared that one in every twenty households was required to furnish his army with a fully armed soldier and a horse. The Hungarian word for 20 is husz, and these soldiers on horseback became known as hussars.

* Have you ever picked up a Rubikā€™s Cube and struggled away at it for hours on end? It turns out that a Rubikā€™s Cube can always be solved in 20 moves or less, no matter how mixed up it is!
