    no it's more about people being able to see patterns where there aren't any

    The number of Chinese dead before official start of the war was higher than UK/US casualties during the whole war.


    1899
    Anglo-Egyptian Sudan is formed.
    Spanish-American War:
    Voting machines are approved by the U.S. Congress
    Hague Conventions
    Second Boer War

    69 & 99 are rather weak links in the pattern.

    I'd say that a similar pattern could be made taking any digit.

    9 x 2 = 18 [1+8=9]
    9 x 3 = 27 [2+7=9]
    9 x 4 = 36 [3+6=9]
    9 x 5 = 45 [4+5=9]
    9 x 6 = 36 [3+6=9]

    and so on . . .*
