    NUMBERS 1 is 3 and 2 is 3 and 3 is 5 and 4 is itself and 5 is 4... What is the rule behind this statement?

    Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

      The number of English letters in the number's name.

      If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

        Number of letters in the word for the number:

        one, two, three, four, five, ...
        3 3 5 4 4

        Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

                  Dyslexia or myopia. Maybe even some astigmatism thrown in for good measure. Take your pick (You should post this at a regular time every day, and preferably twice daily 12 hours apart, for those who sleep at the correct time. And in all seriousness this is probably the only 'of the day' I read)

                      I know that you know, but other readers probably don't. Every number in Hungarian is a word on it's own. So a number like 1,234,567 is written out as `egymilliókétszázharmincnégyezerötszázhatvanhét`. :-D

                        I post it when I have the time, and occasionally miss it (like last Thursday)... I have my own timezone, and sometimes I even sleep...

                              Counting in hungarian is easy, if you know a billion [`milliárd`] that's it. You know as many hungarian words as you can count to. :) `egy` one `millió` million `két` two [short form of `kettő`] `száz` hundred `harminc` thirty [10, 20 & 30 have special numbers] `négy` four `ezer` thousand `öt` five `száz` [hundred] `hat` six `van` [-tens 40-90 are the number followed by `van` \ `ven`] `hét` seven Add in `nyolc`[8], `kilenc`[9], `tíz`[10] and `húsz`[20] and now you can count hungarians! [results may vary, always read the label]
