I was convinced 3 was the magic number also, until I was forced to be told about THIS!
4!

Oh yeah well the magic number is 4.
Because 1 = 3 and 3 = 5 and 5 = 4
Any way you go you get 4.
Wanna start with 7? Okay 7 = 5 and 5 = 4.
8 you say? 8 = 5, 5 = 4.
2? 2 = 3, 3 = 5, 5 = 4
6 = 3, 3 = 5, 5 = 4
5 = 4
9 = 4
4 of course = 4
4 wins!
4 is the magic number
Okay, I understand why 1 = 3 and why 3 = 5, but 5 ≠ 4! Also, 5 ≠ 4
If 7 = 5, 5 ≠ 4, 5 = 1 or 5 = 3, but 5 ≠ 4! or 4 !
8 I say? If 8 = 5 then 5 = 9 or 5 = 0, but 5 ≠ 4 at all.
2?2 = 3 correct and true, but if 2?2 = 3 then 3 = 5 and 1 = 4 but 5 = 4 on an exam would score 2?2
6 = 3, 3 = 5, 5 = 4 if and only if all = all, and if all = all then reductio is absurdum!
5 ≠ 4, 9 ≠ 4, but...
4 of course = 4 is not of course 5 ≠ 4! or 4 !

I haven't got a decent enough calculator to work that one out I'm afraid.
Although - I suspect the answer is either 1 or 0.
