This is odd. I received the following out of the blue: (please note that I don’t advertise as being a numerologist…)

The attached file has no macros (so no viruses) and is completely blank. I even looked for any text written in white. Alas, no hidden numbers that I could find.

So, I decided to answer with the following:

Dear Azghar,

I appreciate your message. So that I can wish joy and prosperity upon those who send you to me, may I ask which ad you refer to?

After reviewing the blank sheet you have sent me, I feel comfortable with the 3-digit number of 790. The sum of the digits is 16, which has the synchronous advantage of symmetry: 4^2 is 16 as is 2^4. The 16th letter is P, which stands for Prosperity.

The 16th letter of the alphabet, after removing three letters, is S, which stands for Success. I seek Prosperity and Success, so I embrace 790.

I congratulate you on your approach to this. Most superstitious people would send a comprehensive list of numbers, seeking a pattern and predicting the next number. Unlike other spreadsheets, your blank spreadsheet does not impact my pick of numbers with any unfair bias. Thus, my selection of numbers is purer than any mere trend.

Thank you for writing and keep the stars fresh in your mind.

Scotto

I chose 790 because that’s the name of the robot on Lexx. I don’t feel bad; I figure he’ll have just as much luck with those numbers as any “legitimate” numerologist.

So, how often do people write strangers out of the blue and request numbers? Perhaps this is one method a Plutomancer can use to obtain obscure information. Just write to a random address and wait for the answer to return….
