October 31st, a date synonymous with Halloween in the United States, sees children dressing up in an array of costumes, going door to door to collect candy from their neighbors – a tradition we lovingly call 'trick or treating'. Not just the kids, adults too indulge in the festive spirit with decorations, costumes, and by passing out candy.

But this Halloween, we've decided to dive deep and crunch some numbers with the help of or mighty AI assistant!

The Fear Factor: Triskaidekaphobia vs. Tetraphobia 

In Western culture, the number 13 has long cast a shadow of superstition, stirring fears that have led to the coining of the term "triskaidekaphobia." From omitted 13th floors in skyscrapers to cautious behavior every Friday the 13th, it's a number many prefer to avoid.

Cross the seas to East Asia, and you'll find the number 4 whispering tales of dread, echoing the word for death in several languages like a sinister homophone. In these cultures, "tetraphobia" takes the forefront, influencing everything from license plates to building design.

AI Insights from Our Member's Database 

Our powerful AI assistant took a dive into our database, which we routinely check for duplicates, invalid data, and other discrepancies. This Halloween, we tasked it to reveal some fun facts in our database. And guess what?

We have exactly zero users with the number 13 in their usernames! But there are three users with the number 4. It seems triskaidekaphobia is more prevalent among our members than they might realize!
