I really like even numbers, and I like heavily divisible numbers. Twelve is my lucky number - I just love how divisible it is. I don't like odd numbers, and I really don't like primes. When I turned 37, I put on a strong face, but I was not looking forward to 37. But 37 turned out to be a pretty amazing year.

 Now, remember that the fish are equally distributed across all the tanks. Why is that important? Because it means that one of the possible values for the total amount of fish must be divisible by one of the possible values for the total amount of tanks.
