I was the girl across from you, am_u.

8 is the only even number.

Half of those numbers are prime.

9 is the only square.

8 is the only triple. It is also the only symmetrical number and it is symmetrical on 2 axes. (Cool.)

13 is the only one that cannot represent a month. 13 is the only one that is seen as unlucky. Arguably, 13 is the only number of the set that has any affiliation with luck (traditionally 7 and 13 in Western countries. What about Eastern? Hmm...)

Clearly I am having trouble with 5 and how it is different though.

We can keep going. I don't know. Do these "qualify"? Am I playing it right?

Depends on your definition of symmetry, of which there are many, and the way in which you're representing the number. take for example, this:

  O   O   O 

  O   O   O  

  O   O   O

I'd say that makes 9 pretty darn symmetric, no?

Yeah, you're doin' it right, but you don't have the "dream handicap" that I did. You know, like when you try to run, or punch someone, and you just... can't?

How crazy would that be if you did actually have the same dream, and the idiot across from you (re: me) could only come up with two differences?

Everyone was remarkably well behaved in the dream, I think I hold the civility of this site in high regard. Except for that guy on X, whoever you are.

Oh it was you!

Civility isn't always the best trait to have... Sometimes it's downright boring. ;)
