Running Numbers

33 Percent of event rules I'll be breaking when I attend the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention (Feb. 3-5 at the Wyndham Hotel), the organizers of which insist: "No colors, no weapons, no attitude!"

2 Length, in minutes, of audition tapes that will be made during the open casting call for Survivor contestants Feb. 2 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the CBS Studio location at Fifth and Market streets. Next season's location is apparently Camden, so make sure to tell the story about that one time you got mugged and knocked out there, and then got woken up by someone else trying to mug you.

1 Number of dollars that will be donated to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia—through the Auto Dealers CARing For Kids Foundation—for every attendee of the Philadelphia International Auto Show, Feb. 4-12 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

2/3 Minimum attendance of the provincial Council required for a "quorum," as stated by Article IV of the Frame of Government of Pennsylvania, signed by William Penn on Feb. 2, 1683.
