68 (number)
68 (sixty-eight) is the natural number following 67 (number), 67 and preceding 69 (number), 69. It is an Parity (mathematics), even number. 68 is a composite number and the eighth square-prime. In mathematics 68 is a composite number; a square-prime, of the form (''p''2, q) where q is a higher prime. It is the eighth of this form and the sixth of the form (22.q). 68 is a Perrin number. It has an aliquot sum of 58 (number), 58 within an aliquot sequence of two composite numbers (68, 58,32 (number), 32,31 (number), 31,1 (number), 1,0) to the Prime in the 31-aliquot tree. It is the largest known number to be the sum of two primes in exactly two different ways: 68 = 7 + 61 = 31 + 37. All higher even numbers that have been checked are the sum of three or more pairs of primes; the conjecture that 68 is the largest number with this property is closely related to the Goldbach conjecture and, like it, remains unproven.

The purpose of 68 Publishers was to publish books by Czech and Slovak writers whose works were banned in communist Czechoslovakia. The name '68 Publishers' is in commemoration of the Prague Spring of 1968. Škvorecký and Salivarová began by publishing both Czech originals, and English translations, of Škvorecký's books.

Just over a week later, Scogin teased an announcement with a countdown timer on the website ''theyare68.com''; when the timer ended in December 2013, Scogin revealed that he had formed a new band named '68 and posted a two-song EP, ''Midnight'', for sale online. The title of the EP and its two songs – "Three Is a Crowd" and "Third Time Is a Charm" – were significant to Scogin; the use of the number three in the song titles represented the third act of his life following his stints in Norma Jean and the Chariot, and Scogin also explained that the number three represents "that thought process of continuing on in my head: 'Three's a char ...
