 * I've struck the original hook. Two sources for the fact were provided, and the hook contradicts the online source. I've added a bit more material from that source and provided an altered hook which is supported by that source and is, I think, more interesting. I'd give ALT1 a conditional Symbol confirmed.svg, but someone else should give final approval of my hook.
 * ALT1: ... that Indian businessman and builder T. Namberumal Chetty is said to have owned 99 residences in a neighbourhood of Chennai, but wouldn't purchase a 100th due to astrological reasons? M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  05:49, 25 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg I've edited the alt hook because the source says that the 99 houses were in one particular neighbourhood; we don't know if he had other houses in other parts of the city. ALT1 hook checks out OK with that change. --Orlady (talk) 15:15, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
