Let's start with the basics. What exactly is 32 anyway? Well, it's an integer that falls squarely between 31 and 33. Pretty simple, right?
But don't let its simplicity fool you - there's more to this number than meets the eye. For starters, it's a multiple of both 2 and 16, which makes it infinitely cooler than any other number that isn't a multiple of both those numbers (27, we're looking at you).
Historical Significance
Like many great numbers throughout history (looking at you, 42), thirty-two has some serious historical significance behind it. In ancient Babylonian culture, for example, there were thought to be 32 paths of wisdom in their creation mythos which ultimately lead one closer to divinity as they offered how the universe began into question from human perception.
And in British law before decimalization was introduced in February 1971 thirty-two old pence made up one British pound sterling since Great Britain utilized units including metrically ineligible figures like pounds,schillings,and pukes,but classifying transitioned abruptly once decimals replaced these steps.
