No, it isn't. You see that series of digits show up in a few places, after rounding and approximation, and are impressed... But any set of digits you care to name will show up in hundreds of places.
Do you see why I disagree with your meaningless statement?
Yes. You've made it clear that you're not familiar with how coincidences and numbers tend to get noticed by the human brain, whether or not they're meaningful.
None of those were "signs" of anything. Is 3168 interesting because *EXACTLY* 6 miles happens to be 31,680 feet? What about 36,960, which is 7 miles? What about the amazing fact that 12,320 yards is exactly 36,960 feet, and that (1+2+3)/2+0 is 3, the same factor as the distance in feet divided by the difference in yards? Is it a "sign" when the sum of the digits of a number which is a multiple of 3 is also a multiple of 3? NO!
It's nothing special; it's just playing with arithmetic until you get cool results. You wanna see 8's in my life? I was born on 6-26-72. 72 is 9 8's. 72 divided by 6 is 12, and 26-6 is 20, and 20-12 is 8. WOW! I found a *HIDDEN* 8 in the digits of my birthday! Did you know that I turn 30 in 16 days - two more 8's? I'm about 6' tall - another 72, or another 9 eights. I often practice with 8 pound weights for arm exercises. My cat weighs 16 pounds - and my other cat weighs 8 pounds! My wife was born in August of 1972. In fact, 56 days passed between our birthdays - that's another 7 8's! Meanwhile, she's 5'4" - or 64 inches, eight squared! The difference between our heights is another 8. We've been engaged or married for 8 years. The number of pixels across the display I'm using is 1600 - that's 200 8's, and 200 itself is 8*25. My phone number ends in 8. In fact, there are three eights in it, and the other numbers sum to another multiple of 8.
If I had been divorced twice, and I had kids, believe me, I'd have more 8's.
This is just what I can do off the top of my head, I haven't spent more than five minutes thinking of it... or should I spend another three, and claim that it took me *EIGHT* minutes to come up with this utter nonsense?
Let's try this a different way. Pick a two-digit number. I bet I can find at least ten instances of that number in my life within ten minutes.
