The 2008 summer Olympic games held in Beijing, China, began exactly at 8:08:08 p.m. on 8 / 8 / 08, because the number 8 is a lucky number in the Chinese culture. It symbolizes prosperity, wealth, success, and social status.

FACT or CRAP ?
FACT

In China, the numbers, 6, 8, and 9 are lucky numbers, but the numbers 4, 7, and 1 are unlucky.
And for the Chinese, " 13 " is a lucky number!

Exceeding a resolution of 300 picels per inch on a
smartphone screen does not really matter, because the human eye cannot see detail beyond this resolution.
