Here's a little game for you guys. I's not a really compeditive game and there really arn't that much rules.
The objective of this game is that when you spell out any number, and count how many letters are in that word then spell out the number that you got, you will always end on 4 (four).
You cannot double post or anything, to keep it fair so other people can get a shot at seeing how magical the number 4 is. Also you can NOT start with 4 (four), otherwise it defeats the purpose of this game. Hyphens do not count btw, only letters. Once you do reach for you have to conclude your comment with "Therefore four is the magic number".
If you are still a little confused about house this works look at my example, start with the first word and count how many letters there are and you'll notice that is why is say "is ___" (ex: ten is three). Then the result (i.e three) starts the next line and you continue to do what you did before until you reach four.
*Edit: Because there have been a few people having issues with this, here is a better example
TEN has 3 letters
THREE has 5 letters
FIVE has 4 letters
FOUR has 4 letters
(This is why 4 is the magic number. No matter what number you start with it will always end on 4 because 4 is the only number who's numeric meaning is the same as the number of letters it takes to spell it out.)
