> Five was the ultimate number,

I have OCD as well, and this jumped out at me. That's my ultimate number as well! I actually talked about this in a presentation [1, slide 8] and explain my reasoning, but the reasoning in the article also resonates with me. Even is good because it provides balance, but 5 is the exception to the even rule because it still provides an even more elegant balance.

It's actually slide 9 where five comes up. Great intro by the way.

And thanks to all who have shared their stories of OCD. Godspeed.
