9/12    What are some lucky numbers for Persians? Chinese->8, Western->7,
        what about Persians?
        \_ Zoroastrianism says 7 is lucky; Islam tends to agree.
        \_ 13 is unlucky in Persian/Iranian culture.
        \_ 18 is lucky for the Jews. gifts it has become common to give in multi\
ples of 18: the gematria, or numerical equivalence of the Hebrew word for "life"\
, ("chai") is the number 18.
        \_ Chinese->8 only in a sense that it sounds like "becoming rich".
           Other than that, it's not a lucky number in senses like "passing a
           test" or "avoiding accidents", etc.
