    Some way to identify the person who wrote it is also helpful. Different cultures write numbers differently.

    The French person reads the top one as 1 , 2, 3.

    The American reads it as 7, 2, 3.

        After much debate over copious drinks at the bar, we finally decided to settle the argument with darts.

        0 are all crossed.

        1’s are written as l

        7’s are all crossed.

        And 9’s… Well we got kicked out and it was never settled. How was I supposed to know the nickname Nicky sounds like the French word “Niquer” and somebody (Nicolas) got all bent out of shape over it. “Hey Nicky it’s your turn!” apparently was not well received by a drunk frenchman.
