Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Math "Magic"

This isn't the usual fare on Buster's Blog, but it is an interesting numeric pattern.  What does it mean?  Beats me.  Probably nuthin'.  It looks cool, though.

1 X 8 + 1 = 9
12 X 8 + 2 = 98
123 X 8 + 3 = 987
1234 X 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 X 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 X 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 X 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 X 8 + 8 = 98765432
 123456789 X 8 + 9 = 987654321
