> Hey chemist have you ever heard of every number equalling nine? I invented it when I was in the third grade. I'm being serious. I was told that there is such a theory. Have you ever heard of it? You're answer just brought it to mind. I used to add numbers in my head and realized that in the end they all equal 9. Wierd but true I think. Is there a name for this except OCD? Fondly, Phillipa
hello there, chemist here...it has been noted that my calling your post ``rude'' is itself not very nice. i concur.
what i meant was ``patronizing'' and ``eerily similar to email correspondence i have been having with a co-worker about perfoming certain computations using a finite field in none other than modulo 9'' and finally ``really strange that i count out cash registers that way, and at my most recent little tangent of work, that's exactly how i showed the boss that one of his employees had stolen almost $8,000 from the business. the employee got fired, and i have had continual email disruptions and invasions of privacy and personal information thinly-cloaked being posted on PB ever since. weird. hence, you are looking really good for an adverse witness for the plaintiff.''
is that civil? i hope so...just so we are clear: i feel your comments are ``patronizing'' in re: the implication that i am OCD and can perform at a third-grade level; i feel that email with attachements containing work in fields mostly (mod 9) is ``a really strange coincidence'' in light of your statement; and i feel that the comments about every number being equal to nine - and keeping track of them in your head - is ``really weird'' because i briefly was employed in a capacity where i was working a cash register, and a guy everybody loved turned out to be a liar and a thief. i am the person who ratted on him, and he lost his job because of me. that's when content from my email started showing up here on PB.
just wanted to make everything really clear. i really, really hope you are not hurt by my comment about the ``rude'' remark, and that the more thoughtful and accurate ones explained above are at the very least intriguing to you and so many others.
all the best, your good pal, chemist
