I saw a interesting video this morning. The face of a clock. If one circles the 12 and 0ne, we have 13. Circle 11 and 2, 13. 10 and 3= 13 and, so on. Therefor, is there any significants to this? Have you seen this before?

I haven’t seen it before, but there is no significance to it. Just math. For example, if you write the numbers 1-100, 1+100=101 and 2+99=101 and 3+98=101.

Move along; nothing to see here.

OK. My Filipina lady friend helped me to misspell significance. Thank you Lou.

It's just symmetry. If you imagine flattening a clock laterally, you get two columns of numbers, one rising and one falling in value. Since they rise and fall at the same rate, adding each of the number pairs results in the same sum...

Why that way? Why 12+0, 11+1, 10+2, 9+3, 8+4, 7+5, 6+6.

Since everybody knows that the number 13 is unlucky, the significance is that it is never the right time to do something stupid!

The first time you circle them, they have feathers! The second time, they have dots!

It's just a pattern. I think there's a story of a teacher wanting to punish a noisy student by making him add all the numbers from 1 to 100. The teacher thought it would occupy him for a while but was surprised when the student quickly answered 5,50.

When he asked how did he get the answer so quickly, the student answered that he multiplied the number of pairs that add to 100 which is 49 by 100 to make 4,900 then add the lone 100 then add the lone 50 to get 5,050.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I mean, if you think that's indicative of alien intervention or witchcraft or whatever, wait 'til you see the multiplication table for the number 9...

Through 9x10, the first digit of the total counts upwards from 0 to 9, and the second digit counts downwards from 9 to 0. Plus, when you add the first digit of the total to the second, it always equals 9.

Any number is evenly divisible by 9 if and only if the sum of its digits are divisible by 9.

So, for example:

4547 x 9 = 40923
4 + 0 + 9 + 2 + 3 = 18 (which is divisible by 9)
