  Jazz musician here. 3,6,9,12 are all literally so important in music. We have 12 notes in the natural tuning, the most common chords are made up of 3 notes, 6th intervals are very important for landing home and they have no dissonance, we even have a 3-6-9 chord which sounds majestic. 9ths also have very little dissonance. The whole tone scales, which divide the 12 note scale perfectly in half and are symmetrical, there are 6 notes in each. 3 and 6 are some of the most common time signatures, rhythms divide into 3s (triplets) very naturally. I’d could go on and on but this is just off the top of my head.

  Division by 7 always produces 142857. Spare key to the Universe, if you lost the master copy

  The vortex is just the formula for calculating counter frequencies. It&apos;s really interesting what vibrations can do...

  I am from Austria and we never learned that the number, which remains actually is the remainder (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZrO90AI0c8&amp;t=585">9:45</a>). When I learned about modular arithmetic in math Olympiad, I guessed that fact to be true while doing an example. Not even my highly invested teacher was sure, whether the solution was right. Infuriating, that you do not learn these deeper truths about mathematics at school.

  In school whenever I noticed patterns such as these divisibility tests, my teachers discouraged me from pursuing them because they themselves were not sure if they&apos;d always hold and were concerned they&apos;d lead me astray. Another example that I recall is my noticing that each power of two is equal to one more than the sum of the lesser powers of two. That&apos;s well-established and taken for granted in computer science, yet was unknown to my teachers and regarded with skepticism. I remember also my mom pleading with my teachers to stop counting my work wrong for my daring to use techniques I developed myself from having explored the mathematical foundations of the rote mechanisms they taught. I understand that the pressures on elementary school math teachers drive them to stick with safe techniques, but for them to feel threatened by a student privately moving beyond that is frankly an indictment of the whole system of education.

  It would all be so different if we had a different base

  When I was a kid, I learned the &quot;casting out 9s&quot; trick in some puzzle book (possibly by Jerome S. Meyer) my older brother had. I didn&apos;t learn why it worked until I read Martin Gardner&apos;s column about divisibility tests.
