I wonder how old you have to be to make up your own jokes? That comedian bloke effectively created this one.

Alex had 3 terrible interviews and one very good one. To be fair he is the youngest candidate ever and Sir Alan does take his age in to account.

He was very unlucky to get such high achievers at a young age interviewing him. In your regular interview he'd have got away with that.

I didn't notice him mentioning his age at all...is he really only 24?

Did you know there are 24 million cat owners in the UK and most of them live in London and are aged 24?

I'm pretty sure that Lindi is even younger. As silly as she was, I don't actually remember her trying to use her own age as a defense for herself, and Sir Alan never gave her any spare chances because of her age either.

24 is the factorial of 4 and a composite number, being the first number of the form 23q, where q is an odd prime.

It is the smallest number with exactly eight divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. It is a highly composite number, having more divisors than any smaller number. Adding up all the proper divisors of 24 except 4 and 8 gives 24, hence 24 is a semiperfect number.

Subtracting one from any of its divisors (except 1 and 2, but including itself) yields a prime number. 24 is the largest number with this property, for to have this property a number cannot be divisible by a prime greater than three, nor can it be divisible by 9 or 16.

24 has an aliquot sum of 36 and the aliquot sequence (24,36,55,17,1,0).

There are 10 solutions to the equation φ(x) = 24, namely 35, 39, 45, 52, 56, 70, 72, 78, 84 and 90. This is more than any integer below 24, making 24 a highly totient number.

24 is a nonagonal number. This number is also the sum of a twin prime (11 + 13). It is a Harshad number and a semi-meandric number.

Together with the number one, 24 is one of the few numbers n for which the sum of μ(d)d2 over the divisors d of n is equal to itself.[citation needed]

The product of any four consecutive numbers is divisible by 24. This is because, among any four consecutive numbers, there must be two even numbers, one of which is a multiple of four, and there must be a multiple of three. [1]

In 24 dimensions there are 24 even positive definite unimodular lattices, called the Niemeier lattices. One of these is the exceptional Leech lattice which has many surprising properties; due to its existence, the answers to many problems such as the kissing number problem and sphere packing are known in 24 dimensions but not in many lower dimensions. The Leech lattice is closely related to the equally nice length-24 binary Golay code and the Steiner system S(5,8,24) and the Mathieu group M24. One construction of the Leech lattice is possible because of the remarkable fact that 12+22+32+...+242 =702 is a perfect square; 24 is the only integer greater than 1 with this property. These properties of 24 are related to the fact that the number 24 also appears in several places in the theory of modular forms; for example, the modular discriminant is the 24th power of the Dedekind eta function.

The Barnes-Wall lattice contains 24 lattices.

24 is the highest number n with the property that every element of the group of units (Z/nZ)* of the commutative ring Z/nZ, apart from the identity element, has order 2; thus the multiplicative group (Z/24Z)* = {1,5,7,11,13,17,19,23} is isomorphic to the additive group (Z/2Z)3. This fact plays a role in monstrous moonshine.

The 24-cell, with 24 octahedral cells and 24 vertices, is a self-dual convex regular 4-polytope; it has no good 3-dimensional analogue.

FACTS ABOUT 24

The number of bits a computer needs to represent truecolour images (for a maximum of 16,777,216 colours). (But greater numbers of bits provide more accurate colors. "Truecolor" is one of many possible color representations.)
The number of a broadcast television channel
The number of cans or bottles in a beverage case.
The number of Carats representing 100% pure gold.
The number of cycles in the Chinese solar year.
The number of frames per second at which motion picture film is usually projected.
The number of hours in a day.
The number of letters in both the modern and classical Greek alphabet. For the latter reason, also the number of chapters or "books" into which Homer's Odyssey and Iliad came to be divided.
24 is the age of Alex Wotherspoon
24, television series starring Kiefer Sutherland. Each 24-episode season of the show covers 24 hours.
The number of points on a backgammon board.
When pronounced "two-four", a 24-pack of beer (Canadianism).
A children's mathematical game involving the use of any of the 4 standard operations on 4 numbers on a card to get 24 (see Math 24)
"24", a song by Welsh musician Jem
The maximum number of Knight Companions in the Order of the Garter
The Twenty-fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution is one of the Civil Rights-era amendments, abolishing poll tax requirements in federal elections.
The designation of US Interstate 24, a freeway that runs from Tennessee to Illinois. Also many other roads called Route 24
24 is considered an unlucky number in Cantonese culture because its pronounication is similar to that of "easy to die". For this reason, many buildings skip this floor number. The same goes for 13, 34, 44, etc.
In Brazil, the number 24 holds a strong popular association with homosexuality, as there is a popular betting game, the Jogo do Bicho (Animal Game) in which 24 is the "deer" number. The Brazilian word for deer, "veado", is also used as a depreciative slang term for homosexual, although the latter is sometimes spelled with an 'i' as opposed to an 'e'
#24 is a recurring character on The Venture Bros.
A Straight Edge symbol, for X is the 24th letter of the alphabet

Yes, but he was 23 which is a totally inferior age to 24.

Thought Michael was 25? Lindi was 22! Yet, despite being crap, she never mentioned her 22 years.

I thought Michael was 25 that is 7 years younger than Helene's 32.

Oh yes and 1???? year older than Alex (that's if Alex is 24)!!.

I think that he's seen 'The Number 23' (Jim Carrey, worth a watch) and is making a case for a starring role in the sequel - which of course is....HERE IS THE PUNCHLINE 'The Number 24'

I wonder if anyone will put a new entry in the Wiki definition of 24

Alex did come across as really young tonight. He looked really shy and akward in his interviews. Nick even referred to him as a 'boy' in the boardroom. Bless him, he is only 24 though.
