    A sufficiently advanced technology will be indistinguishable from magic. Nick has magic fingers.

    Wait, a nine-digit phone number in the US?

    I don’t know how a 9-digit phone number is useful.Put a zero on the end to get the traditional 10 digits?That’s why we were discussing the significance of the square two days ago. A two-digit number (15) could be a local extension. Nine digits is too long for a local extension, but just short of a standard telephone number..With regard to the sequence, I guess the Lo Shu square should be read top to bottom, then right to left, like traditional Chinese calligraphy.4 9 23 5 78 1 6

    But if the idea is to get the phone number out of it, the sequence IS going to be important.

    English readers would get 492-357-816.Chinese calligraphy readers would get 276-951-438.
