Any particular reason you like the number 55?

I like it because you have a five after a five, and a five before a five.


Try getting the same with 44

Because it's a whole number that comes after 54 and before 56, a multiple of 5 and 11, half of Nerwen's current age, five more than half a hundred, the number of bottles of beer on the wall after 1x45 of them have been "taken down and passed around"*...

ie, no particular reason.

*a very anoying song that goes "a hundred bottles of beer on the wall, a hundred bottles of beer! We take one down, pass it around, ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall! Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall, ninety-nine bottles of beer! We take one down, pass it around..." I haven't yet met anyone who has gotten to 1.
