The Amazing & Interesting Facts About Number 9 by Khayordhe: 4:11pm On Nov 19, 2012
1. If you multiply nine by any whole number (except zero), and repeatedly add the digits of the answer until it's just one digit, you will end up with nine:
2 × 9 = 18 (1 + 8 = 9)
3 × 9 = 27 (2 + 7 = 9)
9 × 9 = 81 (8 + 1 = 9)
121 × 9 = 1089 (1 + 0 + 8 + 9 = 18; 1 + 8 = 9)
234 × 9 = 2106 (2 + 1 + 0 + 6 = 9)
578329 × 9 = 5204961 (5 + 2 + 0+ 4 + 9 + 6 + 1 = 27 (2 + 7 = 9))
482729235601 × 9 = 4344563120409 (4 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 9 =45 (4 + 5 = 9))
(Exception) 0 x 9 = 0 (0 is not equal to 9)

2. Only about one ninth of the mass of an iceberg is visible above the water. Nearly all its bulkremains hidden beneath the surface.

3. On cloud nine means happy, euphoric or `high'. The phrase came into use in the 1950s from a term used by the US Weather Bureau. For the meteorologists Cloud Nine is cumulo-nimbus cloud at a height of 10 km, which is high even by the standard of clouds.

4. The 9 of diamonds - the playingcard - is sometimes called the Curse of Scotland

5. The expression to the nines means to the highest degree. Someone dressed "to the nines" isdressed up as much as they can be.

6. The sum of the digits of the number added to 9 is always equal to the sum of the digits of the result. Take any four digit number and try the trick. Ex: 9 + 17 = 26. 1 + 7 = 8 & 2 + 6 = 8

7. In French the word neuf means both nine and new. In German, the words for nine and new are neun and neu, and in Spanish, nueve and nuevo. As you count and reach nine, you know you are about to make a new start.

8. Nine judges sit on the United States Supreme Court.

9. Nine Eleven is the day of the attacks on the World Trade Center,New York, USA.

10. Nine months is the average number of months per school year that most primary and secondary students are required to attend.

11. A human pregnancy ordinarily lasts for nine months.

12. There are nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring in The Lord of the Rings saga, to balanceand combat the nine Nazgûl, or Ringwraiths.

13. Important Buddhist rituals usually involve nine monks.

14. A batting lineup in baseball consists of nine players. In addition, 9 represents the number of innings in a game.

15. A standard work day of 9 to 5 begins at 9 a.m.

16. It is easy to work out whether a number is exactly divisible by 9. This is the same as asking whether a number is in the "9 times table". All you have to do is add up its digits. If the answer is more than one digit long, you addup the digits again, and go on doing this, until you are left with asingle digit. If this single digit is 9 then the original number was divisible by 9.
For example, is 781236 divisible by 9? Adding up its digits 7 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 27
- and adding again 2 + 7 = 9. And because the answer is 9, the original number must be divisible by 9.

17. The formula for determining the sum of interior angles of a polygon is n-2(180). n= number of sides. The sum of all angles of any polygon will always equal 9. A9-sided polygon is 9-2(180) or 7(180) or 1260. 1+2+6+0 = 9. Try it with any sided polygon.

18. Any random number (e.g 35967930) when arranged with its integers in a descending order(i.e. 99765330) and subtracted from it the reverse number with rearranged integers in an ascending order ( i.e 03356799) the resulting subtraction (i.e. 96408531) individual integers when added (i.e 36) leads to a multiple of number 9.

]19. On a numeric keypad or calculator, the numbers from left to right and top to bottom are...
789 - row 1
456 - row 2
123 - row 3

If you add up the totals of each row you get... row1 is 7 + 8 + 9 = 24 , row2 is 4 + 5 + 6 = 15 , row3 is 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 The difference between each sum is 9. (24 - 15 =9 or 15 – 6 = 9)

20. Nine is strongly associated with the Chinese dragon, a symbol of magic and power. There are nine forms of the dragon, it is described in terms ofnine attributes, and it has nine children.

21. In Thai, the word for nine, 'gao', is the same as the verb for 'to develop or progress'.

22. In astrology, the ninth sign of the Zodiac is Sagittarius, identifiedby the Greeks as a centaur. Centaurs are magical creatures known for their skills as archers, philosophers, and predictors of the future.

23. In classical music the curse of the ninth refers to the superstition that a composer whowrites a ninth symphony will die soon. Beethoven, who left his Tenth Symphony unfinished, is regarded by the superstition as the first victim of the curse.

24. The Beatles released a song called "Revolution 9" which appears on The White Album (more properly known as The Beatles); its principle vocal featureis a voice repeating, "Number nine...number nine...number nine..." John Lennon, the primary composer of "Revolution 9", also released a solo recording entitled"#9 Dream". The Beatles also released a song called "One After 909" in 1970, although it was recorded in 1969, and Lennon and McCartney had worked on it since the very early days. Lennon is known to have felt a connection with the number 9. Both he and his son, Sean were born on October 9th. Also, John died on the 9th (UK Time). Ironically, of all the Beatles' singlesthat made the U.S. Top 10 in Billboard, all peak positions were covered except #9.

9 represents perfection, and its the highest of numbers, 10 actually equals 1 and from 10 is a repetition of smaller numbers. Add the digits of your birth day 1 by 1 and if you arrive at 9, then your birth date signify that your soul went through maturity and you are here to teach others. But not ruling out that you can be here fooling around too cos you forgot why you are here. Example, someone born on March 30, 1934 = 30+3+1+9+3+4 = 5 (5th cosmic cycle of birth), get the life mastery handbook and read what's in store for you.

You are a perfected soul, but why are you fooling around ? Get mystical and unluck your destiny. I wish I was you, there is nothing I wouldnt have done, even commanding rains to fall. Mine is 4, and I studied this 10 yrs ago during my esoteric explorations. I know my down moments in life, when to expect failures and moments to invest for 100% results. Get into any school of mysticism.

Its simple arithmetic. Anyone can add all digits of their birthdate, but the secret of what each number stands for was unlocked during my mystical studies 10years ago. For me, I always knew that birthdates are not chances, they are choices and stand for something.

Also, in 1998, the price of garri was 9 Naira per cup.
(1998 = 1 + 9 + 9 + 8 = 27 = 2 + 7 = 9)
