Some of you may find this interesting: Limited research has show that, when deceptive people have to come up with a number they will often use the number three (3). Why that is, nobody knows.

Example: if someone makes up a story about being attacked/assaulted, they will often put the number of assailants at 3.

Interesting article on this phenomenon: http://www.statementanalysis.com/research/
