Worth noting that 7 is prime, 8 = 2^3, 9 = 3^2

― valorous wokelord (silby), Saturday, 7 April 2018 06:28 (eight years ago)

9 is the only one not in the Steps song "5, 6, 7, 8" which was somehow played in the bar last night much to my disgust.

8 for its association with fortune in the world of numerological bullshit

― Droni Mitchell (Ross), Saturday, 7 April 2018 08:02 (eight years ago)

7 = (3 x 2 ) + 1
8 = 2 x (3 + 1)
9 = 3 x (2 + 1)

Well, what's wrong with 6?

― Mark G, Saturday, 7 April 2018 10:14 (eight years ago)

9 bc that's half of the sex number

― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Saturday, 7 April 2018 13:44 (eight years ago)

why was seven afraid of six

― DACA Flocka Flame (Hadrian VIII), Saturday, 7 April 2018 14:53 (eight years ago)

i don't like any of these numbers

― j., Saturday, 7 April 2018 14:56 (eight years ago)

now i'm listening to the Orb. Thanks OP.

― brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 7 April 2018 15:45 (eight years ago)

growing up, 8 was my favorite number. the reason was because the other popular favorite numbers were 7 and 1, and 7 + 1 = 8.

8 is the only one you can draw starting at any point...it gets my vote

― Scape: Goat-fired like a dog! (Myonga Vön Bontee), Saturday, 7 April 2018 15:55 (eight years ago)

These are very entry-level numbers. There are much huger numbers. Even people who aren't into numbers know these ones.

― jmm, Saturday, 7 April 2018 16:20 (eight years ago)

This is true but people forget how classic they were at the time. Everybody makes a big deal out of numbers like 68, 32, 35, but they wouldn't even be in the conversation without these.

― DACA Flocka Flame (Hadrian VIII), Saturday, 7 April 2018 17:11 (eight years ago)

8 is the pretty one

― adam the (abanana), Saturday, 7 April 2018 17:17 (eight years ago)

would argue this but don't want to slut-shame

― DACA Flocka Flame (Hadrian VIII), Saturday, 7 April 2018 17:23 (eight years ago)

can math nerds do more cool number theory stuff or whatever itt?

― map, Saturday, 7 April 2018 17:47 (eight years ago)

7 + 8 = 15
15 + 9 = 24

― Karl Malone, Saturday, 7 April 2018 17:49 (eight years ago)

just getting the ball rolling

― Karl Malone, Saturday, 7 April 2018 17:56 (eight years ago)

7 x 9 = 63 → 6 + 3 = 9

8 x 9 = 72 → 7 + 2 = 9

7 x 8 x 9 = 504 → 5 + 0 + 4 = 9

― the late great, Saturday, 7 April 2018 18:25 (eight years ago)

78 x 9 = 702 → 7 + 0 + 2 = 9

(7 + 8) x 9 = 135 → 1 + 3 + 5 = 9

my favorite property of multiples of 9

― the late great, Saturday, 7 April 2018 18:28 (eight years ago)

7 is the 4th Lucas number. 8 is the 6th Fibonacci number. 9 is the 4th Motzkin number.

― El Tomboto, Saturday, 7 April 2018 18:44 (eight years ago)

well 9 has my vote, that is pretty cool xp

multiples of nine always make numbers that individually add up to nine or multiples of nine. Nine is fucking magic. I once put £5 each way on a 50/1 shot called She's A Dreamer that romped home, just because it was a number 9. My habit of backing number 9's did turn into a game of diminishing returns after that early success though!

― calzino, Saturday, 7 April 2018 20:59 (eight years ago)

This thread makes me feel terrible.

― Jeff, Saturday, 7 April 2018 21:36 (eight years ago)

I’ll be honest, I voted nine because it’s the biggest and I’m sorta done with primes

― El Tomboto, Sunday, 8 April 2018 00:30 (eight years ago)

used to be a big 7 fan but now i think 9 is greater

i could never pick an even number

― mookieproof, Sunday, 8 April 2018 02:08 (eight years ago)

are there even any weird even numbers

9 really pulled off an upset here.

― devops mom (silby), Monday, 9 July 2018 00:32 (eight years ago)

as it should. 9 is the highest you can go before starting back at 1

― flappy bird, Monday, 9 July 2018 00:39 (eight years ago)

(chants) 9's number 1! 9's number 1! 9's number 1!
