eight

Two to third

Eight is the number between seven and nine, represented as 8.

It appears throughout measurement and culture: eight ounces in a cup, eight bits in a byte, a figure eight, behind the eight ball.

To be behind the eight ball is to be in a difficult position, from the pool ball that blocks clean shots.
