If it looks like 8 it must be 4! Explanation: Even without looking at the picture (unable to view), I can say if it looks like the Arabic '8' with the top open, it is 4 in Hindi and the Arabic '9' looks like it's mirror image in Hindi! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2004-08-02 15:05:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"8\" is like \"L\" |

It is nine Explanation: This is how nine is written in the traditional Hindi fashion. In fact, after adoption of international digits for numbers, these have become obsolete and quite interestingly modern children don't even know that such type of numbers still exist. However, these are still used by traditional businessmen or who practice old system of accounting. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs 2 mins (2004-08-03 00:54:49 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- error : please read \"practice\" as \"practise\" since it is being used in the sense of verb here instead of noun. |
