51*13+3=666

666 is the sign of the devil.

No, it equals 54. (Oh, I get it :D)

9*5-3=42

no, in base 13.

0123456789ABC

So look...

123456789

ABC 012345 (9*2) = 15

6789ABC 01 (9*3) = 21

23456789A (9*4) = 2A

BC 0123456 (9*5) = 36

789ABC 012 (9*6) = 42

Luck and unluck can't exist if everything works according to the physical laws. They won't take a number appearing a board into account, but will treat every single particle the exact same way based on the rest of the universe.
So don't worry about that.

I'll believe in the idea of luck once it's explained to me how it works.

Explain to me why is 13 or 666 unlucky. Is there evidence that this is so?

Thanks for the thought provoking question deoxy99.

I like it. That was the day I was born. 7/13. So I have no problem with it.

When humans came up with 12, the unknown was next, 13. 666 is written on the head of the devil.

So that might be why some people think those numbers are unlucky, but how does that make them unlucky in reality?

For example: Do people who have birthdays on the 13th more likely to lose at games? No.

So how are those numbers unlucky?

If 666 is unlucky, then is 333 or 999 or even 1332 lucky?
Title: Re: Most People Online: 13
Post by: deoxy99 on February 16, 2010, 03:38:51 PM
666 is unlucky.
333, 999, and 1332 are neither unlucky nor lucky.

42 is best.  ;D

42 -
Lucky or Unlucky? Neither
Classification: Best
Type: best

By this classification in my catalog, 42 is called a "best number".

And, according to the Hitchhikers Guide to The Universe, 42 is The Ultimate Answer to Life, The Universe, And Everything.

Also according to Google. Search it  ;D Just take out the word "Ultimate" when you search it.

Yes, the calculator says 42.

No, you told me it is the best, you didn't tell me that it was "the answer".

666 is unlucky.

So this number is associated with the 'beast' (by some people). That still doesn't explain how it's actually unlucky.

Are people that carry this number around in their pocket more likely to be hit by a car when walking around town? (for example)

A nice alternative to 'lucky' and 'unlucky' numbers could be favorite and disliked numbers. My favorite number is 4, and my dislike number is 3. I don't know why, but the symbol 4 just looks good, while 3 looks bad. :)
Or, ok, it doesn't look very bad, but, the other numbers look better. ;D
I was called "Mikkel 333" in the kindergarden. I hated it. 4, 2, 7, 8, 0, 9, 6, 1, 3.

Post by: atomic7732 on February 18, 2010, 03:47:03 PM
Bla, why were you called that?

4s, 7s, and 9s and 0s are awesome, while i think 2s and 8s ruin numbers. 1, 3, 5, and 6 are just normal.

So I favor 40774 over 92130
Title: Re: Most People Online: 13
Post by: Bla on February 19, 2010, 12:32:56 AM
Mikkel is my name, while 333 was because I didn't like the number 3. :P

Yes, 9 is probably a better number than I wrote before in the row. But still not as good as 2 and 7. :P

Fun thing is that the number 666 probably occured through a translation error.
It is thought that 616 is the original number of the beast.
