"For example, the number of partitions for any number ending in 4 or 9 is divisible by 5."

Since we happen to use a base 10 system (for no other reason than we learn to count on 10 fingers), do problems like this really matter? Is there an equivalent observation to be had in binary, trinary, or any other base? If not, then why should we care about such silly patterns?

I read the article but I still don't understand CBS's new show, Numbers.

This is obviously a hoax. Al Gore figured this out on a cocktail napkin years ago.
