first words
I've been doing some research to figure out why you included this as a mint amount option.
At first I thought it might be a reference to Apollo 11, and was commentary on the Moon Landing being faked. But that seemed too obvious.
So after more research, I thought there might be a clue in the fact 11 is the first Repdigit and both 11 and 111 could also be Mersenne primes, if we interpret both as binary instead of base-10, then you have 3 and 7. Which if combined makes 37 which is a "Sexy prime". And this piece was meant to be a critique on increased sexualization of the World's Mathematicians.
...but then I thought maybe I'm too focused on the Primes and maybe 37 was meant to represent the 37 element: Rubidium. Which we all know is used as the resonant element in atomic clocks. So it could be a commentary on the futility of time and our silly human attempts at measuring something that we don't even really understand at a epistemological level.
But then after more thinking maybe it's just a simple reference to Metta World Peace, who wore 37 in honor of Michael Jackson. Since Thriller was at No. 1 on the charts for 37 straight weeks.
Still not sure of the meaning, but I will continue my research and get back to you.
