Rick Riordan Quote
I've got a few ideas, (Amy) admitted. But I don't know where we're going in the long term. I mean - have you ever thought about what this ultimate treasure could be?Something cool. (Dan)Oh, that's real helpful. I mean, what could make somebody the most powerful Cahill in history? And why thirty-nine clues?Dan shrugged. Thirty-nine is a sweet number. It's thirteen times three. It's also the sum of five prime numbers in a row - 3,5,7,11,13. if you add the first three powers of three, 3 to the first, 3 to the second, and s to the third, you get thirty-nine.Amy stared at him. How did you know that?What do you mean? It's obvious.
