    My 9-year-old son looked at the digital clock the other day and pointed out that the digits 4, 5, and 6 have something in common not shared with the other digits.

    Can you guess what it is? (I couldn't -- he had to tell me)

    Ahhhh... to have the creativity of a nine-year old again. (Sigh)

    I have no earthly idea.

    Let's see if this image works, supposed to show all digital numbers:

    I think I know:
    Each of the numbers is made up of that number of lines.


    1 = 2 lines
    2 = 5 lines
    3 = 5 lines
    4 = 4 lines
    5 = 5 lines
    6 = 6 lines
    7 = 3 lines
    8 = 7 lines
    9 = 6 lines
    0 = 6 lines

    I'm looking here, it has something to do with the lines?

    So It may take a 9 year old to show me too!

    If Zach noticed this on his own, I'll bet he's a pretty intelligent kid and can see patterns and correlations in lots of other things.

    I would guess that he has a high IQ for his age.
