Did you know that the max level a Mii can reach for Find Mii on the 3DS is 7? The reason for this is because 7 is a lucky number and Nintendo means "Leave Luck to Heaven"
(I know that the meaning on Nintendo was stated before, but I still think the reference to the number 7 is still clever)
Well, how do you know it's a reference to that? It could be just a lucky coincidence.
I looked more into the matter of numbers and luck in the Japanese culture, I doubt it's just a coincidence.
For example, the Japanese believe in "Shichi-fuku-jin", the Seven Gods of Luck...
Also after a baby is born, the Japanese also celebrate the 7th day after it's born... and mourn the 7th day and week after a person dies..
This and more meanings to the number 7 in Japanese culture can be found
here
It seems to make sense though, because I noticed yet another thing that can't be coincidental.
Mario Kart 7, I mean really, people freaked out about the 7, sure it's the seventh mario kart game, but why call it 7?
With how the Japanese view the number seven as an important number in their culture, it seems to make a little bit more sense

It makes sense now and to think i was gonna say "nintendo Y u no renamed it to Mario Kart 3DS"
Despite numbers like 13 and 7 having zero meaning or cosmic affect on this planet....good for them. I never really questioned why it stopped at 7. Especially later on when you're on your 3rd Street Pass question and the monsters get pretty tough. Wouldn't mind if the Nintendo raised the level cap.
How come this was rejected D: I thought it was cool to know why Nintendo stops at the number 7

There there *pats back*.
Don't think of it as, "rejection" but more of DYKG saying, lets just be friends.

That doesn't really explain things, there should be a clearer criteria of what is accepted and what isn't

I think he was joking and you needed proof to back it up,Your clues made sense but i've been there,i took like a man and thought that DYKG is just doing it cause he has our best interest at heart.He cares.Not all Submits are DYKG worthy.
