The rules are fairly simple but the process for finding NumberWang is nearly impossible. The process for finding NumberWang used to take hours and hours to find because the formula was an entire 1400 page text book. Now, finding NumberWang is simple. You say a number that you think is NumberWang and the NumberWang Robot, Coloson, will answer for you. However during the early 1960's apearance of Coloson on TV, Coloson decided to take over the world and said "I am NumberWang, The world is NumberWang, therefore I am the world!" The makers of Coloson, who forsaw this event, installed a fail-safe. The only way to stop Coloson was to show it a picture of a chicken. Now Coloson is kept in the basement of the BBC TV Center. NumberWang is now a world phenomonon. It is on Austrailian TV, New Zealand TV and even American TV where instead of saying "Thats NumberWang!!" they say "Yes, That is a number..."

When you get the number 69 or 42 on a receipt, getting number 13 hotel room, when a digital clock, set to 24H turns from eleven fifty nine, to twelve O'clock.
Some people mistake Numberwangs for some sort of mystical numerology nonsense, while experts agree they are at worst cultural phenomenon, and at best tied into mathematical principles pointless trying to explain to a layman.
"Thats Numberwang"- That Mitchel and Webb look (often used out of context for humour)
"Got three bloody Numberwangs today, hope I don't start believing in God..."
Getting a 69 or 42 on a receipt, the moment a 24H digital clock turns from elven fifty nine to twelve O'clock, Getting room number 13 at a hotel, seeing too many number-plates with your age on your birthday.
Some people think a Numberwang is in some way connected to the fabric of reality, creating allot of Numerology Nonsense.
Experts say that Numberwangs are at worst Cultural Phenomenon, and at best related to patterns in complex mathematics the layman wouldn't be able to understand.
"Thats Numberwang" - That Mitchel And Webb Look (Often used out of context for comedic porpoises.)
"I got three Numberwangs today, I hope I don't start believing in God!" - Steve to his wife.
