"9" *is* the pattern. The rest of the details are parameters to that pattern. I don't know if you program or not, but if you do, "9" would be a class, and all the examples would be instances. You state the name of a pattern, and then look at the context surrounding it and ask where it is. You're subtracting out what you're looking for before you look for it, so it's no wonder you can't see it.
