There are many numerology systems which assign numerical value to the letters of an alphabet. Examples include the Abjad numerals in Arabic, the Hebrew numerals, Armenian numerals, and Greek numerals. The practice within Jewish tradition of assigning mystical meaning to words based on their numerical values, and on connections between words of equal value, is known as gematria.
Let's give you the benefit of the doubt and say that what I am doing IS numerology. In that case, you all incorrect for saying that numerology is BS, or that it is illogical or something like that. This is not looking for mystical meaning in the numbers, just looking for THE NUMBERS THEMSELVES.
Debunk this, if you're so clever:
There are thousands of envelopes in a room. They all contain a magic spell written on a piece of paper. Inside one of them are the magic words "Klatu Barada Nikto" and a check for $1,000,000.00. Now, that envelope is significant not because of the magic spell. Regardless of whether or not you believe in magic, the fact is that if you find the one with those specific words you will find the one with the check.
Sam thing applies here. Some people think that the numbers mean something special. Regardless of whether or not they do, they are still the numbers for which we are looking. It has nothing to do with their mystical meaning or anything like that.

I'd like to know the answer to this one as well.
