1. Children perceive numbers differently than adults, focusing on the logarithm of the number and perceiving the distance between numbers logarithmically.
2. Benford's Law is a phenomenon where numbers that start with one or two occur more frequently than numbers that start with seven, eight, or nine.
3. This distribution pattern is observed across various categories such as molecular weights, baseball statistics, census data, and even bank account balances in New York.
4. Benford's Law is supported by extensive statistics compiled by mathematician Steve Stroghat.
5. The probability of a number starting with one is approximately 30.1%, while numbers starting with nine only occur 4.6% of the time, making one approximately six times more likely than nine.
