It may or may not be related mathematically - but when I was a kid daydreaming and messing with a calculator in math class, I figured out that if you add

123456789

and

987654321

the answer is a bunch of 1's.

If you change the pattern and snake around the number pad - and always reverse the pattern - you still get 1's. e.g.:

321654987 + 789456123 = a bunch of 1s. I know it's not rocket science - but as a kid I thought I was frickin Einstein.
