Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 07/06/2013 11:24 am aaa123404321 has too many digits to be a canadian serial number. aaa1230321 would be a canadian radar. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16859 Posts	Posted 07/07/2013 04:29 am Humans are instinctive pattern-seekers. We look for patterns in apparent randomness, in an effort to extract meaning from them. When we actually find such a pattern - as when a collection of random numbers forms a pattern that repeats back on itself - we consider it special. A radar number like 123404321 isn't intrinsically more rare, special or magical than any other 9-digit number (like 129445912 or 123404221). But the pattern a radar number forms makes them more attractive - and therefore more valuable. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
