Numbers

[Jack]

18 has been  my lucky number since I was a little kid

Jack likes the number three.

So do I.

I can be very particular about numbers.

Why do you like three?

It's got a nice texture.

Like the infinity relationship with the number one.

 Reflexives are fun and easy to recognize.

... but bilateral, semi-symmetrical notations of numbers or letters make it hard for me to tell which end is up and which end is first. I get "stymied" reading them frontwards and backwards (which I always do with everything I see, but if they are the same, such as palindromes) I am lost for a few seconds while I figure out that I am looking at a kind of palindrome.

Imagine how embarrassing it is to see a SKU number at work like 1458541 (did not make that up, but had to deal with that one a few days ago, while live on radio to a co-worker) and I can NOT tell you what it says. IF it reads the same front to back and back to front, I have trouble knowing what the symbols are telling me.


Dyslexia or Hyperlexia? Doc does not know, either.

Somehow numbers like that give me a joy, next to a full stop.
I had a student number 109601, typing it down, it stops me again. It is awesome, because it is the same upside down.
Have had most numbers identifying me at lectures or schools to be symmetrical. I liked it. But yes, it does stop me, for a few seconds and a smile.

Does it feel best when it's infinite?

Am I the only one who has to read everything both ways to get the meaning of the words or a sequence of numbers? Algebra and calculus are difficult for me, but I get them. More advanced math is a bit more trying, but I struggle through.

Seriously? How can I be the only one?!?

For me, the smile comes much later.

Can be overly analytical with words in this way. It can be both a good and bad thing, so try to not do it too much.

No numbers are infinite.

No numbers are infinite.

Transfinite numbers are transfinite.

Was talking about the relationship between one and three. One divided by three is point infinite three. Ten divided by three is three point infinite three. One hundred divided by three is thirty-three point infinite three, and so on...

Which in no way contradicts what I was saying.

But I don't like the feel of one divided by three, to be honest. It feels slightly nasty to me, presented like that.
