[RedCloud]

1. Three!

You know why three gave up the race?

Because two one!

[Amfortas]

2. seven .. because

seven eight nine !

[kick-ass-bob]

Cannibals!

3. Naughty, nasty, mean old Number Nine

Number Nine will put you on the spot.
Number Nine will tie you up, oh, in a knot.
When you're tryin'
Multiplyin' by nine,
You might give it everything you've got
And still be stopped.
If you don't know some secret way you
can check on,
You'll break your neck on
Naughty Number Nine.

Now the first thing to keep in mind
When you're multiplyin' by nine
Is that it's one less than ten.
You see nine is the same as ten minus one.
So you could multiply your number by ten,
And then subtract the number from the result,
And you'd get the same product
As if you'd multiplied by nine
And you knew it.
I mean 8 x 9 is 80 minus 8,
And 7 x 9 is 70 minus 7, and 6 x 9 is 60 minus 6.
You could use those tricks.
'Cause you must have some secret way you can beat it,
Or else you'll meet it
With Naughty Number Nine.


Of course it doesn't hurt
To know the table of nines by memory.
It goes like this:
1 x 9 is 9, and 2 x 9 is 18.
(Mean Old Number Nine)
3 x 9 is 27, and 4 x 9 is 36,
5 x 9 is 45, and 6 x 9 is 54, and 7 x 9 is 63,
8 x 9 is 72, and 9 x 9 is 81,
And 10 x 9 is 90


Now the digit sum is always equal to nine.
I mean, if you add 2 and 7, the digits,
You get 9, the digit sum.
That's true of any product of 9.
If they don't add up, you've made a mistake.
'Cause you must have some secret way you can check it,
Or else you'll wreck it
With naughty, nasty, mean old Number Nine.


AND when you play "Number 9" backwards on the White Album you hear how it's into necrophilia and possibly even in on Paul McCartney's death.

7. Take any number, no matter how long....

flip two adjacent digits. Subtract the smaller from the larger and the difference is always a multiple of 9.

Example:

5743638762534
-5743637862534
--------------
900000

8. Damn that 9 is a clever devil, too!

[skypilot]

11. Nine is an evil number.

That is the ONE thing in the world that I am superstitious about. I will not live at an address that adds up to the number 9. The three places I've lived where the house number totaled 9 are places where I've been EXTREMELY unhappy for one reason or another: 4023, 1926 and 549. I actually take this into account when I'm apartment hunting.

4. Eight. I never did like eight. Eight can't be trusted.

[jswordy]

6. I like eight, as in 6-8...I like 68 better than 69...

You do me, then I'll owe you 1!!!

[BurtWorm]

9. W

[Debi]

10. Okay, I know one is the lonliest number

but two can be as bad as one, so I've heard. :eyes:

[Tom Kitten]

13. That's true...

It's the lonliest number since the number one...

[Debi]

15. Yeah....

I don't know any more words, do you?

[Tom Kitten]

17. No...

No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know

'Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, whoa-oh, worse than two

It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

It's just no good anymore since you went away

(number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

(number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

(number)
One...! (one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do)
(number)
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
(number)
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

[Debi]

18. You're a genius

or really weird.

Which is it? :P

[Tom Kitten]

20. Maybe a little bit of both

definitely a little twisted, but in a good spirited way, I suppose. Things are a little slow here at work lately so I've been hanging out more.

[Chicago Democrat]

12. One!

Lots of trouble...

[GumboYaYa]

19. It's the loneliest number....

[NoPasaran]

14. Four

All those sharp edges and points! You could put somebody's eye out with that thing!

[Droopy]

16. In black jack it would be 1

Because if the dealer has that ace chances are you're screwed.
