60. Someone else has already chosen this, but failed to point out that it is a Superior Highly Composite Number.

Re: Favourite numbers
Is 531 still the favourite number for cyclists?
Picked up a school book of maths excersizes for teenagers, looks very difficult

A millipede does not of course (?) have a thousand feet, but up to 375 pairs, some species have only 12, 20 or 50
Perhaps one could talk about Grandipedes, they are indeed grand, fascinating, beasts

Re: Favourite numbers
I'm OK with even numbers, but odd numbers don't seem right to me... I often mix up 5 or 3 with letters like M and this can make doing sums difficult. May I take this opportunity to tell all one of my favourite number-based jokes? Says zero to eight, "Nice belt!"
