Goodbye twenties

In less than a week i'll be 29. This will be my last year as a twenty-something and it makes me feel a little weird. I feel like i'm getting old and i don't think i've acomplished as much as i thought i would. Guess life's a bitch sometimes huh? Here are some facts about the number 29. Will they cheer me up?

Successive primes up to 29 are separated at most by 3 integers (the mean gap being 2).
It is the smallest prime of the form 7n + 1.
It is the 3rd number n (following 1 and 5) such that 2n2 - 1 is a square, in fact: 2 x 292 - 1 = 412 --
It is the exponent of the largest power of 2 whose digits are all distinct: 229 = 536 870 912

= 22 + 32 + 42 (sum of 3 consecutive squares)
= 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 (sum of consecutive primes)

= square root(6! + (6! + 6)/6)

= (2 x 9) + (2 + 9)

292 = 212 + 202 (Pythagorean triple)

TWENTY NINE is the only number written with as many strokes as its numerical value.

The probability of being born on 29th February is 1/1,461.

29.783 km/s is the average orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun.

29.53 days is the amount of time for the Moon to complete one orbit around the Earth (synodic month).

The planet Saturn requires over 29 years to orbit the Sun (solar revolution).

It is the number of bones in a normal human skull.
It is the number of days February has on leap years.

In numerology, 29 is a very unlucky number and indicates uncertainties, treachery and deception from others. It also stands for dangers, unreliable friends, grief and deception from the opposite sex.
In the Tarot, the 29 is represented by the 3 of Wands. It infers spiritual power, introspection, reflection and receptivity.
