27 is the smallest composite number that cannot be represented as the sum of two primes

Kevin Stanton McClintock July 14, 2022
27, it seems to me, appears a lot in popular culture - films mostly - where some 'random' number is required - 27th floor, 27 light years etc. To the average punter, 27 must seem fairly 'random' - it's not 10 or 12 for a start, it's an odd number and does not at first sight look easily divisible - a 'real', not just made-up number, and if it comes with a decimal point, all the better (2.745296... etc.). Also, when said aloud, 27 has a certain euphony, which may make it attractive to script writers. Has anyone the time and patience to carefully investigate this phenomenon? I don't think I have.
