Brandon's number

"Let's go, Brandon!" -- originally supposed to be a cheer for NASCAR driver Brandon Brown -- is now code for a vulgar execration beginning with the letter F.


Brandon Brown's number is 68.


Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet, and so the number 17 is synonymous with the letter Q.


Brandon Brown's number is thus equal to 4Q.

Thy firmness makes my circle just, and makes me end where I began.
