It's not really numerology though. Yes it's a dumb trick with base-10 math but that doesn't make it numerology. It's not trying to draw any connections between otherwise unrelated things. I think of numerology as trying to use stupid-glue to connect things that aren't connected. Like, I was born on the 8th day of the 2nd month, 8 - 2 is 6, the sixth planet is Saturn which also has 6 letters, and Jeffrey Epstein's first pet fish was named Saturn! OMG! That's numerology.

Numerology is far stupider than this admittedly useless arithmetic game.

Since HN doesn't let you edit after votes have been applied, let me clarify that 'crazy' does not refer to the person/comment I'm replying to.

It's not votes, it's two hours passing.
