What is the significance of 3-7? Why not 1-3? 2-20? Why is there a focus on a specific number of wishes?

Seems like an odd question. I'd like to know what the reasoning behind it is. And I'm wondering what kind of response you are expecting.

Why hasn't Opera developed an API yet, considering its the best thing about Firefox, its one of the first things Google promised to do with Google Chrome and is already available for Maxthon and Internet Explorer?
