I never thought anyone else would ever have the same neurosis. Mine is almost exactly the same, except I only try to get numbers divisible by 10.

If a number is divisible by nine, I get excited. If it doesn't add up to nine, I find some sort of equation within the numbers to try and force the numbers to add up to nine or, at the very least, a multiple of three. Sometimes it takes a long, long time to figure out how to make the numbers work for me. I do the same thing, but with nines. If a number is divisible by nine, I get excited.

I used to think that there is something odd with a number 138, because it is so wildly used in the movies and popular culture. So I used to look for it on every place. Than I saw that movie P, and in it a mathematician sad that if you look for a specific number you will find it everywhere, because it is a number made from nine numbers.

If the numbers don't add up to a multiple of three, I use different functions between each digit until I can find a way to make it work. My method is with multiples of three.

The licence plates in Australia are (for example) 283-GAT so I would have to say GAT in my head 283 times.
