mine has been ten for a few years now, I think since I was 10 actually. close seconds would be 15 and 5. I guess my autism shows here, doesn't it?

4 and its multiples. Specifically 16 and its multiples.

 

I like symmetry and order. I believe the number 4 conforms to those characteristics: it is the first composite number, and the first perfect square (not counting 1). It is square, solid, even and geometrically and symmetrically wholesome, a composite 'building block'. 16 is a even better, the first perfect square of a perfect square.

I see what you did there :^)

I like multiples of 5, they feel wholesome. But as a computer scientist, 2 also feels like a very wholesome number. And multiples of such numbers are better. E.g. 10, 20. But powers of them are even better (10 = 2^1 x 5^1, 100 = 2^2 x 5^2, 1000 = 2^3 x 5^3)

3 and 21. I mean, what's not to like about 21? It's. 7 x 3, and has a cross-sum of 3 as well. And if you double it, you get 42. It's a nice-looking number. 333 is neat, too.
