          The ancient Arabic algorithm for seven was crossed. The symbols we use as numbers actually mean angles. 1 has one angle, 2 (ancient form is Z) has two angles, 3 has three etc. Seven when crossed creates seven angles.

            So the 7 will have some sort of balance ?

              I have terrible handwriting, I cross my 7's so I know they are 7's later and not a sloppy 3....

                I was taught it is the French 7 and so I cross my sevens....I am not French though.  Now you have me thinking about some of the other things I do...

                  My wife crosses her 7s so I know it was her that worked that sudoku puzzle and not me.
