Show FACTS ABOUT FIGURE NINE. I Professor of the Occult Has Added a I New Wrinkle. I Mathematicians havo juggled with tho mystic figures 3, 7 and 9 for ages, and now comes n foreign "professor" ot tho occult science to tell fortune by "tho forco In u simple numeral" tho 9. Ho reminds his victims that If they multiply nny number, short of a decimal, by 9 the two figures of the product ndded together will mako 9. Thus: Nino times 2 aro 18, and 3 nnd -. nro 9; 9 times .1 nre 27, nnd 7 nnd 2 aro 9; 9 times C nro 45, nnd G and 4 nro 9; 9 times G arc G4, nnd 4 nnd 5 aro 9; 9 times 7 arc G3, nnd 3 nnd C aro 9; 9 times S nre 72, and 2 nnd 7 aro 9; 9 tlmo 9 aro 81, and 1 nnd S aro 9. Ho might havo added that any number In tho hundreds of thousands multiplied by 9 will glvo a product tho sunt ot whoso digits Is a multiple of 9. Take nt random 9 times 545 are 4,905, tho sum of which in 18, and 9 Into 18 goes 2 times. Take 7,353 multiplied by 9 equals CG.1C8; tho sum of the digits Is 27; 9 Into 27 goes 3 times. Oh, there Is an Immense amount of fun in 9. |
