Your 3 * 7 and 3 * 5 got interpreted as a highlighting of the text surrounded by the asterisks. You can edit your comment to fix it. Here are the complete HN markup rules:

Blank lines separate paragraphs.

Text surrounded by asterisks is italicized, if the character after the first asterisk isn't whitespace.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim. (This is intended for code.)

Urls become links, except in the text field of a submission.

Many thanks, updated.
