The number of crayons in the popular Crayola 64 pack

I had to, I've been fascinated with coloring lately. Although, when I was little, I liked the 96 crayon box better (Spoiled little me) Well, crayons are cheap, most of the time, and they last for a long time, but still.

 

64 is also the square of 8 and some other important stuff.
