Why 90%?
8 and 2 are both in the ground family (2, 4, 8). Two different numbers from one family start at 90. The nudge comes from the roots: 8 + 2 = 10, which leaves 1 when divided by 3, so the nudge is 0. 90 + 0 = 90.
Out of the 78 possible pairings, 1 score higher than this one. Rarity: 11.1% of birthdays from 1950 to 2009 give 8 and 4.6% give 2, so about 1 in 98 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.
