Evolution of the glyph[edit]
The use of three lines to denote the number 3 is only natural[clarification needed] and occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use.
In particular, that was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmin Indians' numerical notation. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nagari rotated the lines clockwise[clarification needed], ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive, script the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling '3' with an additional stroke at the bottom as '३'.
The Hindu[clarification needed] numerals spread to the Caliphate in the 9th century. The bottom stroke was dropped around the 10th century in the western parts of the Caliphate, such as the Maghreb and Al-Andalus, when a distinct variant ('Western Arabic') of the digit symbols developed, including modern Western 3. In contrast, the Eastern Arabs retained and enlarged that stroke, rotating the character once more to yield the modern ('Eastern') Arabic digit '٣'.[1]
In most modern Western typefaces, the '3' glyph, like the other decimal digits, has the height of a capital letter, and sits on the baseline. In typefaces with text figures, on the other hand, the glyph usually has the height of a lowercase letter 'x' and a descender: '. In some French text-figure typefaces, though, it has an ascender instead of a descender.[citation needed]
Flat-topped 3[edit]
A common variant of the digit three has a flat top, similar to the character Ʒ (ezh). This form is sometimes used to prevent people from fraudulently changing a three into an eight. It is usually found on UPC-A barcodes and standard 52-card decks.
Mathematics[edit]
3 is:
- a rough approximation of π (3.1415..) and a very rough approximation of e (2.71828.) when doing quick estimates.
- the number of non-collinear points needed to determine a plane and a circle.
- the first odd prime number and the second smallest prime.
- the first Fermat prime (22n + 1).
- the first Mersenne prime (2n − 1).
- the second Sophie Germain prime.
- the second Mersenne prime exponent.
- the second factorial prime (2! + 1).
- the second Lucas prime.
- the second triangular number. It is the only prime triangular number.
- the fourth Fibonacci number.
- the smallest number of sides that a simple (non-self-intersecting) polygon can have.
Three is the only prime which is one less than a perfect square. Any other number which is n2 − 1 for some integer n is not prime, since it is (n − 1)(n + 1). This is true for 3 as well (with n = 2), but in this case the smaller factor is 1. If n is greater than 2, both n − 1 and n + 1 are greater than 1 so their product is not prime.
A natural number is divisible by three if the sum of its digits in base 10 is divisible by 3. For example, the number 21 is divisible by three (3 times 7) and the sum of its digits is 2 + 1 = 3. Because of this, the reverse of any number that is divisible by three (or indeed, any permutation of its digits) is also divisible by three. For instance, 1368 and its reverse 8631 are both divisible by three (and so are 1386, 3168, 3186, 3618, etc.). See also Divisibility rule. This works in base 10 and in any positional numeral system whose base divided by three leaves a remainder of one (bases 4, 7, 10, etc.).
Three of the five Platonic solids have triangular faces – the tetrahedron, the octahedron, and the icosahedron. Also, three of the five Platonic solids have vertices where three faces meet – the tetrahedron, the hexahedron (cube), and the dodecahedron. Furthermore, only three different types of polygons comprise the faces of the five Platonic solids – the triangle, the square, and the pentagon.
Chests Remain Open [ ] Also confirmed by Aonuma was the fact that while in previous versions a chest of rupees would reclose if Link's wallet was full, these chests will now remain open so as not to confuse players wondering if they've already investigated the area or now. Instead, this can be done by simply tapping the Wii U Gamepad's touchscreen. The legend of zelda twilight princess download.
There are only three distinct 4×4 panmagic squares.
According to Pythagoras and the Pythagorean school, the number 3, which they called triad, is the noblest of all digits, as it is the only number to equal the sum of all the terms below it, and the only number whose sum with those below equals the product of them and itself.[2]
The trisection of the angle was one of the three famous problems of antiquity.
Gauss proved that every integer is the sum of at most 3 triangular numbers.
Numeral systems[edit]
3/5 Compromise
There is some evidence to suggest that early man may have used counting systems which consisted of 'One, Two, Three' and thereafter 'Many' to describe counting limits. Early peoples had a word to describe the quantities of one, two, and three but any quantity beyond was simply denoted as 'Many'. This is most likely based on the prevalence of this phenomenon among people in such disparate regions as the deep Amazon and Borneo jungles, where western civilization's explorers have historical records of their first encounters with these indigenous people.[3]

As a lucky or unlucky number[edit]
Three (三, formal writing: 叁, pinyinsān, Cantonese: saam1) is considered a good number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word 'alive' (生 pinyin shēng, Cantonese: saang1), compared to four (四, pinyin: sì, Cantonese: sei1), which sounds like the word 'death' (死 pinyin sǐ, Cantonese: sei2).
Counting to three is common in situations where a group of people wish to perform an action in synchrony: Now, on the count of three, everybody pull! Assuming the counter is proceeding at a uniform rate, the first two counts are necessary to establish the rate, and the count of 'three' is predicted based on the timing of the 'one' and 'two' before it. Three is likely used instead of some other number because it requires the minimal amount counts while setting a rate.
There is another superstition that it is unlucky to take a third light, that is, to be the third person to light a cigarette from the same match or lighter. This superstition is sometimes asserted to have originated among soldiers in the trenches of the First World War when a sniper might see the first light, take aim on the second and fire on the third.
The phrase 'Third time's the charm' refers to the superstition that after two failures in any endeavor, a third attempt is more likely to succeed. This is also sometimes seen in reverse, as in 'third man [to do something, presumably forbidden] gets caught'.
Luck, especially bad luck, is often said to 'come in threes'.[18]

Plot[edit]
At Ram’s funeral, his wife Janani hallucinates about him running away, and the film flashes back to when Ram and Janani were 12th-grade students, when Ram helps Janani fix her bicycle and tells his friends Kumaran and Senthil that he has a crush on her. When Ram visits Janani, she reciprocates his love. Janani's sister Sumi makes sure her parents aren't aware of their secret relationship.
Back in the present, Janani has a teary conversation with her mother about Ram. Asleep, she dreams about when her family had a visa to go to the US, but she burned her passport in order to stay with Ram and marry him.
After Janani is awoken by her maid, she finds a suicide letter from Ram in his coat. She visits Senthil and asks him to reveal what they were hiding from her. Senthil tells her that when she was leaving for the US, Kumaran got a job in Singapore at the same time. Upon finding out that two of the people closest to him were leaving, Ram develops bipolar disorder which Senthil finds out about.
In another flashback, Ram suddenly bashes Senthil's head against a steering wheel, rendering him unconscious. Ram leaves the car in order to go see Janani. As he goes to Janani's bedroom and watches her sleep, he suddenly hallucinates seeing a young girl saying 'Either kill her or you die.' Terrified, he immediately gets away from her bed. He goes to his office and writes a suicide note while the hallucinations continue. Ram picks up a knife and slits his throat, saying his final words, 'I love you, Janani'. The film ends with Janani wailing in grief, as she learns her husband's fate.

Release[edit]
The satellite rights of the film were secured by Sun TV.[13] The film was given a 'U' certificate by the Indian Censor Board. The film released on 30 March 2012. Its Hindi dubbed version was supposed to release on 29 May 2012. But it remained unreleased.[14] The film released with 1000 prints in Tamil.[15] The film released in 1250 screens worldwide for both versions.
Telugu movie producer and distributor Natti Kumar reportedly said that out of the Rs. 60 million (US$1.33 million approximately) he spent on distribution rights and publicity, he had been able to recover only Rs. 47.0 million (US$0.83 million approximately).[16]
Critical reception[edit]
Vishnupriya Bhandaram of The Hindu wrote 'Aishwarya R. Dhanush takes a twisted look at love and its meaning – when you put someone before your own existence – comes across as profound, underlining theme in the film. It fades out as a moving and tragic ode to romance, to the grand idea called 'love'.[17] Moviebuzz of Sify called the film 'poignant', quoting that 'On the whole, 3 has its heart in the right place, though the second half seem scattered. Overlook these faults, and make it a point to watch 3'.[18]One India concluded that '3 is an engaging tale backed by wonderful performances of Dhanush and Shruti Hassan' and rated it 60 out of 100.[19] Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff rated the movie 3 out of 5, saying that 'There are certain moments in 3 that defy logic at times, and sentiment rules the roost, but Aishwarya Dhanush has chosen to present a take on romance that is appealing in its freshness. The lead actors help as well. Her little thriller-twist aside, 3 is a movie that is an ode to romance, above all else.'[20] L Romal M Singh of DNA India gave the movie 3 stars out of 5, commenting that 'We do not think anyone would want to watch the movie again, only because it demands too much from you emotionally. We however, plan to watch this movie once more and walk out during the interval, we’d advise the romantics to do the same.'[21] I
In rated the film 3.5 out of 5, claiming that '3 is average and not worth watching in the theaters. Better wait for the DVD! It fails to meet the expectations and works only in parts, but Aishwarya had shown promise by taking a serious subject in her very first film'.[22]Behindwoods rated the film 3 stars out of 5, commenting that '3 has good performances, but is let down by slower narration'.[23] An IANS reviewer gave the movie a negative review, commenting that 'Neither a joyous love story nor a serious movie, '3' actually stands in between.'[24] Rohit Ramachandran of NowRunning gave the movie a negative rating of 1.5 on a scale of 5, stating that '3 is a heartless comedy involving mentally imbalanced characters, only one of which is lucky to have been diagnosed. This is not a safe place for you to be.'[25]
