About this number
Creative output, company and talk are what popular numerology connects with a 3 in the nine-part count. Those themes draw on the same stock as Walton's 1914 description of the number, with its oratory and mirth, though he was describing the number itself and had no yearly count in mind. A birthday of May 8 and the year 2024 show the sum: 5 + 8 + 2024 = 2037, then 12, then 3.
Taylor has two separate passages. For a 3 day the book proposes some creative act of self-expression and the small target of making seven people smile. For the calendar year 1929, whose own digits total 3, it lists art, beauty and humanitarian programs, but that figure is the same for everyone and is not the sum from a birthday.
