Version: XBL 1.8.2 (equiv PC 1.2)

Etymology

It's my cousin's favorite number. I don't know why, but she's quite passionate about it. I suspect it's because it's a palindrome. My favorite number is an irrational number that can't be properly expressed here, but is so complex it requires two Greek letters (theta and omega) to represent it in scientific equations.

In case you were wondering, my favorite palindrome is "Was it a car or a cat I saw". Ha! Gets me every time.

My Review

While this seed failed to distinguish itself with a high score in any one area, it came in second today because across the board it scored well in almost every category. There was a little bit of everything -- as evidenced in the laundry list of landmarks and resource coordinates I found. This seed has a high amount of visible diamonds; I found nineteen without breaking a sweat. The northwest corner is covered with trees; so much so that they provide shade for day-walkers. There are a lot of amazing features like we used to get before the update. Your personal experience will depend entirely on where you spawn, but I still think this seed is good for beginners.
