I'm your host, Paul Blaze.

Welcome to episode number 939.

Love that number.

It's all divisible by three, you know? Nine. Divisible by three. Three,

divisible by three. Three plus nine, divisible by three. Nine plus nine, divisible by three. Nine plus three.

All of that. Divisible by three. Love that. Love that. So much fun. I'm kind of, I'm kind of into those

little tricks that you can learn about numbers. Like any time that you can add up a bunch of numbers,

and if that number is divisible by three, then the original number is divisible by three.

And they did that trick. Did you do that trick when you were a kid of learning how to do the multiplication tables, the nine times table? I was horrible at it. Good night. You'd get me to, the teacher would call out on me. Paul, what's nine times three? And I would have no clue. I'd be completely ignorant, you know, and I'd say, ah,

and I'd start counting on my fingers. They'd say, put your fingers away, and you have to sit on your

fingers, and it's 17. No, Paul. Then I learned this trick of where you could look at your hands,

put them in front of you, and you would say nine times three,

and if you took the starting from the left side of your hands that were facing you, and you

count in three numbers, one, two, three, or three fingers, you hold that in.

Then the two fingers to the left of that are the first part of the number

of the answer and then the remaining fingers to the right of that finger that is laying down,

then that's the second half of the number. So nine times three would be you hold down the middle

finger because that's three in from the left.
