It's great to reevaluate and look at old perceptions with a fresh eye Pyxis and LiR have a brilliant way of looking at things.

According to wikipedia:

3 is the number of dimensions that humans can perceive.
A common variant of the digit 3 has a flat top, similar to the character Ʒ (ezh). Since this form is sometimes used to prevent people from fraudulently changing a 3 into an 8, it is sometimes called a banker's 3.

What a brilliant number for you, WaS.

ETA:

So the ancient Greeks had a word for "odd" that was the word they
used for this kind of shape:

+

---

+
| |
| +---+ You may need to look at the original for this, if it doesn't format
| |
+

---

+

An "odd" number is one that makes that shape when you try to arrange
it in two rows:

o o o o
o o o

There is an "odd" object left over that doesn't line up. An even
number makes an "even" rectangle:

o o o o
o o o o

You can see in the quotation above that the words "odd" and "even"
were used of numbers in English by the 1400's; the words were used in
other ways earlier.

For more details, see this page:

Etymology of Odd and Even
http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/61374.html

That tells us that the original meaning of "odd" was "sticking out",
which fits the picture I gave; and "even" means "level" (nothing
sticking out!).

So in both Greek and English, the words we use are pictures of the
shapes a number makes.

How are you feeling now WaS? I have decided that all of lifes problems can be solved with chocolate and I REFUSE to be told otherwise...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oooh, maybe odd numbers aren't that bad after all!

I am feeling a bit better haybel! Chocolate fixes everything, I am just as determined about that! I just have to decide between, chocolate bars, chocolate cake or chocolate biscuits. I have a bit of a theme running here...

Good morning, everyone. We all went to bed so early yesterday that I am up already drinking green tea and peppermint, in a bid to be more healthy.

I hope all is well with you all.

WaS, how is the Cupboard of Doom? Another shelf?

Good morning

Whitewing do you not need much sleep?

Chocolate for breakfast sounds like much more fun. Peppermint is however a personal favourite. Its supposed to be good for digestion and green tea is full of anti oxidants.

And I've already learnt my first 'new thing' for the day too, thanks!

whitewing

I got nearly 7 hours. Also I have some time off next week.

I am sleeping less on the new tablets but feeling refreshed mostly.

Talking of sleep, how are you doing, dibuzz?
