copied from a website:
Some people see 47 as a special number. It has been called the ultimate random number. There are many, many stories about 47, but let me mention these occurrences:
* Between the Summer Solstice and the Winter solstice, the sun moves 47 degrees (23 1/2 degrees North of the equator to 23 1/2 degrees South of the equator)
* People born with Down's Syndrome have 47 chromosomes instead of the more common 46

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/47_(number)#References_to_47
There exists a 47 society, an outgrowth of a movement started at Pomona College, California, USA, which propagates the belief (or, to some, the inside joke) that the number forty-seven occurs in nature with noticeably higher frequency than other natural numbers. The origin of 47 lore at Pomona appears to be a mathematical proof, written in 1964 by Professor Donald Bentley, which supposedly demonstrated that all numbers are equal to 47.
Following on from this, Joe Menosky, who graduated from Pomona College in 1979 and went on to become one of the story writers of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "infected" other Star Trek writers with it, and as a result the number (or its reverse, 74) occurs in some way or other in almost every episode
Forty-seven is also:
the number of miracles performed by Jesus listed in the New Testament

In the fore-mentioned, "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy," the number that is the answer to the universe and everything is 42. Maybe that is what you mean. It is a joke. I saw the English comedy mini-series. I think the basic message of the series is not to worry about such things. I know that the answer of, "42," has been given many times on this site when someone asks about the meaning of life. It is a reference to that series.

In the book "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy", 47 is the answer to the universe and/or the meaning of life. I can't remember which one is it right now.

The Four stands for peace and tranquility in your life, it also promises a life with out problems. The Seven stands for a connection you will have in the future. Let it be a future wife, best friend, or maybe your friendship with someone you already know gets stronger.....................OK OK sry that's total B.S. i think it means one more than 46..right?
