Some cool 9 ref:

Nine, as the highest single-digit number (in base ten), symbolizes completeness

The number 9 is revered in Hinduism and considered a complete, perfected and divine number because it represents the end of a cycle in the decimal system

Plenty more, but for pythagoras fans, this is based on his skein:

Magic and numbers

Magic number 9

When God invented the number 9, he decided to have some fun.

For any number multiplied by 9, He made the sum of the digits of the answer to equal 9.

For example:

6 times 9 equals 54,
5 + 4 = 9

628 times 9 equals 5,652
5+6+5+2=18
1+8=9

Et cetera

This doesn't happen with any of the other nine digits from 0 to eight
