Magic Numbers
Today's post is brought to you by the magic numbers 3 and 1.
The number three is given importance in a number of places. In Christianity's Holy Trinity, for instance. The Three Jewels of Buddhism. 3 is a lucky number in China, and in Vietnam it is considered unlucky to take a picture with exactly three people in it. Three on a match? Don't do it! But. . . third time's a charm.
We have 3 strikes in baseball, a 3-point shot in basketball, the three-success hat trick in hockey. And when a team wins a championship three times in a row, it's a threepeat.
