Question

In the book "The Old Man and the Sea", what number is supposed to be lucky? Why is this number lucky?

Answer 1

85 was the lucky number because therefore, he has a good chance of making a catch after 84 days of nothing

Answer 2

HEY:)

85 is the lucky number according to the man.. but............

necessarily the number wasn't really lucky since the prediction does eventually come true before it goes horribly wrong. so nobody can really say that this number is entirely lucky.
