My 100th blog

I like numbers, so it seemed fitting that today I recognized my milestone blog. Namely my 100th post.

100 blogs is pretty significant right? Well no, not really, I am not actually sure.

There are 100 cents in a dollar, 100 pennies in a pound. 100cm in a metre and a 100 years in a century.

Yet 100 minutes constitutes 1 hour 40 mins, 100 days is 14.285 weeks, 100 weeks is 1.916 years,  100 inches is 2.54 metres and 100 ounces is 2.957 litres. It's all over the place!

So why is 100 mark so significant?

Well it is a composite  number, it can evenly be divided by 2, 4, 5, 10, 29, 25 and 50. Percentages are maximum 100. It is relevant in maths, science, history and other such stuff.

However given all that I am not sure I really get the significance of a hundred, except that its a nice round number.

Any smart people out there want to educate me. Please feel free......
