About this number

The calculator leaves this day as 11, and that choice has a history. Balliett in 1905 told readers to keep a day of 11 or 22 separate and not add it. Walton reduced it to a strong 2, Cheasley reduced it without comment, and Coffman in 1927 held it whole only for very spiritual subjects. Clement wrote 2 through 11 and read two men born on this date, Robert Ingersoll and Thomas Edison, as intense natures given to extremes.

The meaning is no more settled than the method. Taylor in 1926 spoke of inspiration and Balliett of a person who can never be properly labeled and always stands somewhat apart. Sepharial's name list says discord, offense and deceit, and Westcott notes an evil reputation for eleven, with the Kabalists setting it against the perfect ten.
