Q. Dear Oracle!

I'm getting my first own car in a few weeks and in Germany we can choose which letters or numbers we would like to have on our license plate. As many of the people around here have their initials and their birthday, I wanted to choose something more special and nothing is more special to me than anything coldplay-related. I can either choose two letters and three numbers or one letter and four numbers - but I have no idea what to choose! Maybe MX would be a great choice for the letters, but have you got any idea which numbers would fit?

Thank you so much for your answer!

Sincerely,
David


The Oracle replies:

MX - 042 is the obvious one or you could go for the more obscure 136. 1.36 was the b-side to The Scientist. I prefer the first idea myself but of course, it's up to you.
