    I’ve always loved math, so seeing patterns is intuitive. 3 also happens to be my favorite number, so I like looking for it in the wild.

    If someone says “51 is divisible by 17,” my instinct is that it tracks because it’s obviously divisible by 3, so the other factor would be a little less than 20. That’s literally my first instinct.

    7 is a weird multiple, but 3 is really easy. I guess I’m weird…
