Numerically, the number five is represented by 5. It is equivalent to the number of inmates you would have in a prison if you started with seven but then you had to shoot two of them for trying to escape. It is roughly equivalent to the number of cans of root beer you would have if you drank 17 percent of a six pack. If letters were numbers and numbers were letters, this would be blog post number "E"; however, if this were the case, no one would be reading this because most people read in letters and not numbers.
If an Earthquake hit the west coast right now, and it registered a 5.0 on the Richter scale, that would be equivalent to the number that most closely represents this blog post. If you wanted to play dominoes, but you only had five of them, you would not be able to play dominoes, but you would be able to provide a visual representation of how many blog posts I have written as of this one. If my blog posts corresponded to the presidents, in order of their chronological appearance in office, then this post would best be described as James Monroe.
If you read this post in the year 2017, then the number corresponding to this blog post will match its age in years. If you wrote the number 5 backwards, but then looked in the mirror, you'd see the number of blog posts I have written. If four cats suddenly appeared in your bathroom, you would only need one more cat to match the number of blog posts I have written. If you take your age, and then subtract your age from it, and then add five, you will come up with the number for this blog post. If you met up with five of your best friends, you would only need to ask one of them to leave to make the size of your group equivalent to the size of my blog, in an alternate dimension where people are equal to blog posts.
Long story short I don't want to study math.
