I can understand them being superstitious - although I am not - but it's strange how many fail to spot the paradox in using the Internet to decry the very mathematics necessary for the Internet and so many other things we all tend to take for granted in everyday life.
Why not simply be honest enough to admit simply finding mathematics hard to understand? (As I always did.)

@NankerPhelge Mmmm! I've never thought of that.
Perhaps the distance between posts dilutes the bad-luck-ness to insignificance whereas as a house number 13 concentrates it.
I think there about 60 homes in my street, but only 3 lamp-standards, so it's not a problem here.

@ArishMell My street has 64 houses and 6 lamp-posts, so your lamp-posts seem a bit spaced out.

@NankerPhelge You and I, not speaking American, would call it "maths".... however...
.... Have you noticed how many Britons who otherwise easily enunciate polysyllables like speciality and aluminium; pronounce Mathematics as Math-matics, some solidly, some with a tiny but distinct break at that hyphen?

@ArishMell We do pronounce a short "e" in the middle of "mathematics". I've never heard anybody squeeze it into "mathmatics".
Why are Americans so lazy when it comes to writing and spelling?

@SW-User Shouldn't that be KK?
The fun part about the truth is that it's true whether you believe it or not.
