Well done my friends. 18 tags began what became HTML. That it happened at CERN and is also the number that in Jewish culture represents life, when we say L'chaim that means to life. My father's first name was Chaim too. If you see a charitable donation of 18 it refers life.

I'm going completely by feel here: I imagine the number has to be one you could keep in your head, so 140 is right out; and 1 isn't enough to be that useful (though if it was one, that one was <a>)

If it were 1, you'd be correct :)

Glad a Web 3.0 developer is interested. Learn from history, make fewer mistakes, and avoid inventing the wheel for the umpteenth time is the hope 😉
