I have something to announce.
Everything in the English language = 4.
Not sure how popular this is, or if anyone knows about it at all, but here it goes. Try and pay attention.

Pick a phrase:
"The cake is a lie" for example.

It has 13 letters.
Thirteen has 8 letters.
eight has 5.
five has 4.
Four has 4.

Try again?

"Mr. Thompson's fantastic adventure"
=twenty-nine
=ten
=three
=five
=four

"Everything equals 4"
=seventeen
=nine
=four

If you use English, it will always come out to four. Always.
If you find something that doesn't equal four, then i will personally give you a back massage.

Once you try it yourself, you will shit brix. I know i did.

Must… Find… Non…4!
backrub=want

It's not that magic.

I'd hate to be a buzzkill but by these rules everything has to end in 4.

If I understand correctly, you are counting the letters in numbers.

The only number that's number of letters is itself if is 4.

So, if you always have to keep changing the number until it reaches a number that has the same number of letters as the number itself, four is the only possible option.

But still, it'd be a cool party trick.

Darkwing Duck!!! I wanted the that Massage… Through the internet… somehow…

Unless two numbers went back on each other infinitely, like say eight had nine letters and nine had eight letters in it. But none of those exist as far as I know.
And try telling people IRL. they usually freak out and I lol.

I've heard of this before. That's an IRL children riddle game. After forming a group of two or more people, you start with a big number like "twentythree" which has eleven letters. "Eleven" has six, "six" has three, and so on.

The objective of this riddle game is to guess how the riddle is done before the letter count reaches to "four". The number "five" being the warning sign.

I propose a part 2:

Look into the number system for the only number who, when added or multiplied by itself, yields the same answer. You know the one.

Put both parts together, and you get 42.

On the topic of numbers (because for some reason i like math…) What do you think the final number of the internet is, if you add together all the smaller ones?

Example: 9000 + 1337 + 42 + whatever else…

This is relevant to my interests.
