33

One third of ninety-nine

Thirty-three, the number between 32 and 34.

In some traditions, 33 carries significance—the age Christ was crucified, the number of vertebrae in the human spine, the highest degree in Scottish Rite Freemasonry.

A 33 was also a vinyl record played at 33⅓ revolutions per minute, the standard for full-length albums before digital formats.
