What about another simple and somewhat obvious one, the 11 x table?:

1x11=11 10x11=110
2x11=22 11x11=121
3x11=33 12x11=132
4x11=44 13x11=143
5x11=55 14x11=154
6x11=66 15x11=165
7x11=77 16x11=176
8x11=88 17x11=187
9x11=99 (...)

Yes, it is quite remarkable, but symmetry is an integral part of nature. This stuff should be taught at school, early. Good thread. Makes you wonder.

Yeah but we invented numbers, to count stuff, nature didn't.
We just find a numerical form in everything, because its how our being perceives things.

Numbers really are amazing. When I was a kid I used to look for patterns in numbers, even though I hated maths in school. I noticed that when you looked at the numbers 1 to 9 on a phone (forget the zero) you notice that when you add the numbers up in either middle horizontal, middle vertical and diagnally (a bit like the British flag) the numbers all added up to the same amount, 15. It's like there's a strong relationship between numbers and shapes. The has to be a mathmatician on board the forum who can help explain such things?

It's based on the fact that we're using a base 10 system. If we were (like the Babylonians) using a Base 60 system, you'd see entirely different patterns.

Actually, you would see the exact same patterns in base 6 as you do in base 10, only the numbers would be different. 3^2 using base10 is 9, while 3^2 in base six is 13, it would still be the same coordinate in let's say a spiral and the same shape geometrically. To a Babylonian 13 was a quadrate number, and was the same as 9 today. In binaries or base 2 3^2 equals 1001

Here's a couple of biblical examples:

Ancient Hebrews calculated Pi through dividing the numbers of letters in their alef-bet by the number of "mother-consonants" or
--- 22/7≈∏

In the Book of Revelation Phi is hidden atleast two places. If you take the number of days during the 3.5 year tribulation, 1260, and dividing it by 777, a number often connected to Jesus and God, and you get roughly phi or the golden number.
--- 1260/777≈φ.
The other way is to divide the number of days in a prophetic year of 360 days and divide it by 222.
---360/222≈φ

Then of course there is the number of the Beast, 666. There are many ways to calculate this number. Add the numbers between 1 and 36:
-- 1+2+3+...+36=666.
Or by adding the Roman numerals from I to D:
-- I+V+X+L+C+D=666
...
-- 360(777/666)=420=14x30=7x2x3x2x5=1260/3

1+1+1=3 -- 3x37=111
2+2+2=6 -- 6x37=222
3+3+3=9 -- 9x37=333
4+4+4=12 -- 12x37=444
5+5+5=15 -- 15x37=555
6+6+6=18 -- 18x37=666
7+7+7=21 -- 21x37=777
8+8+8=24 -- 24x37=888
9+9+9=27 -- 27x37=999

Or how about finding phi in our own solar system. Venus revolves around the Sun in about 584 Earth days, divide that by the generic solar year which is a round estimate of the Earth year, or 360. Divide 584 by 360 and you get roughly phi φ.

And on our bodies: The belly button is placed in the golden proportion of our full height. The same can be said about the elbow. And sitting straight up on your knees, measure your height, multiply it by φ and you have your total height. And these proportions are found everywhere from the deepest deep of the universe to cellular structures. The famed Fibonacci sequence -1,1,2,3,5,8,13... and so on into eternity always adding the former number in the sequence to n one would border φ.

Or if you draw a straight angled triangle where the base is two and the height is 1, using Pythagoras the hypotenus is √5. Now to divide the baseline in the golden ratio or proportion, you do as follows: set your pair of compasses at the crossing between the shortest katet and the hypotenus and draw a circle going through the 90º angle, dividing the hypotenus in 1 and √5-1. Now set your compasses in the sharpest angle measure the distance up to where your circle crossed the hypotenus. Now draw a circle and voila, you have divided the baseline according to the golden ratio, which is φ-1, with φ being (√5+1)/2 or 1,618033989.... You can use this method to construct a perfect pentagram with nothing but a set square and a pair of compasses.

Edit: oh, and I forgot...

1/φ=φ-1
φxφ=φ+1

If you add the squares of the first seven primes, you get 666

2^2+3^2+5^2+7^2+11^2+13^2+17^2
or 4+9+25+49+121+169+289=666

Another palindrome is as follows:
1^3+2^3+3^3+4^3+5^3+6^3+5^3+4^3+3^3+2^3+1^3=666

180/111
=360/222
=540/333
=720/444
=900/555
=1080/666
=1260/777
=1440/888
=1620/999
≈φ

July 23rd 7-23 7x23 = 161 On July 23rd there are exactly 161 days left in the year or 23 weeks.

August 17th 8-17 8x17= 136 On August 17th there are exactly 136 days left in the year or 19 weeks and 3 days.

This info would be a lot more interesting if there was some kind of solar or lunar correlation but there is not (to my knowledge). The dates are 25 days apart and the only two days that mathematical produce their remainder on the calendar.

Just found another:
22/7
=242/77
=2442/777
=24442/7777
=244442/77777
≈∏

And like my sig says, 2441/777 equals pi to four decimals

Gematria is quite interesting. The Koran and the number 19 for instance. It is often presented as a miracle and proof the book was authored by God.
