Why 88%?
5 and 1 are both in the mind family (1, 5, 7). Two different numbers from one family start at 90. The nudge comes from the roots: 5 + 1 = 6, which leaves 0 when divided by 3, so the nudge is −2. 90 − 2 = 88.
Out of the 78 possible pairings, 3 score higher than this one. Rarity: 11.1% of birthdays from 1950 to 2009 give 5 and 11.1% give 1, so about 1 in 40 random pairs of birthdays land on exactly this pair.
The rule is our own design, not a numerologist's chart, and numerology is not a science.
