A classic jam by Bob Dorough from 1973:
The past, present and future?
The heart, brain and body?
It takes 3 wheels to make a tricycle?
These all sound pretty important. But how long has the number 3 been around?
The Pythagoreans (their teachings influenced by mathematics and mysticism, originating in 6th century B.C.) taught that 3 was the first true number, hence the name Pythagorean theorem:
"Every triangle has 3 corners, every triangle has 3 sides. No more no less."
Another concept that needs 3 is the Borromean rings:

These were used in a 13th century manuscript as a symbol of the Christian Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit)
If any ring is removed, the remaining two will collapse. Just like it takes three legs to make a tripod or to make a table stand.
Combine gold with 3 and you can see it's a magic number :)
Thanks for reading!
