This is how four is the magic number.

See if you can figure out the pattern: 82 is to 9, and 9 is to 4. Or... 6 is to 3, and 3 is to 4. Or... 71 is to 10, and 10 is to 3, and 3 is to 4.

Catching on? Here's a hint: count the number of letters when you spell out the numbers. E-i-g-h-t-y t-w-o is 9 letters. N-i-n-e is 4 letters. No matter where you start, if you keep going like that, the result will always be four.

Cool huh? It's an awesome trick-- teach it to your friends. :)
