My mans unlocked a higher level of synesthesia
7x3=21 subverts expectations. 7x3 does not feel like it should produce a number as high as 21, plus the digits involved are 1, 2, 3, and....7? Instead of the expected 0 or 4 to produce a set of adjacent numbers?Unexpected. Avant-garde. Rebellious.
8x7=56 is the exact opposite. 8x7 feels like it should produce kind of a high number, and lo, it does. And the digits involved? 5, 6, 7, and 8. Adjacent numbers; they're "supposed" to go together. Very expected, formulaic. Conformist, even.
