 * And my answer to your answer is... "Errrnt." Wrong, try again. -- AllyUnion (talk) 05:52, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Quick question, I think I have a start, but if I'm totally off-base just say so, but when you say "Cultural Understanding"... do you mean within the same culture, or understanding between two different cultures? --kizzle 16:33, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * It refers to the fact that both numbers have different meanings to different cultures. Particularly, one number is unlucky in one particular culture, while in another... it is not unlucky at all. -- AllyUnion (talk) 00:15, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * That's exactly what I needed to hear :) --kizzle 00:16, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)


 * I think the two numbers are 7 and 9, which are the only 2 numbers that are lucky in some cultures but not lucky in others, making the product 63. I was thinking maybe it was some sort of sporting event that happened in 1963, but I didn't know how to search through to find it.  Am I even on the right track?--kizzle 01:15, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)


 * Maybe this would help me out? --kizzle 01:18, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)


 * Sorry kizzle, it was a good try, but I'm looking for two very well known unlucky numbers. They may have a lucky meaning in other cultures, they may have no such meaning relating to luck at all.  This question is actually simplier than you think. -- AllyUnion (talk) 03:53, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

13 (number) and 4 (number) are unlucky numbers... they multiply to 52 (number), which is the number of cards in a standard deck (excluding Jokers). Now there is card game called Pickup 52, regarded as a practical joke - of which one unpleasant sound, the Whoopee cushion, is given. I believe that this is the answer.

 * Damn you, I knew the answer was Whoopee Cushion, just didn't know how to connect it. --kizzle 21:11, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)


 * Alphax is correct. -- AllyUnion (talk) 04:54, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
