How did the movie ';Murder by Numbers'; get its name?

I've been wondering for awhile... I can't really think of anything that has to do with numbers in the movie. Does anyone know?





P.S. If anyone needs to refresh their memory- It's the movie with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling-- where the two high school boys decide to commit a murder to see if they can get away with it and Sandra Bullock is the detective assigned to the case.How did the movie ';Murder by Numbers'; get its name?
It refers to how they planned the murder, and carried it out. The one kid had read all the books about killers, and forensic science, and thought he could outwit the detectives by making sure they didn't leave usual evidence and whatnot. Basically they had it planned out step by step, or ';by numbers';How did the movie ';Murder by Numbers'; get its name?
Hey, i've seen that movie before a bunch and to tell you the truth i'm not really sure how it got it's name but there is a bunch of movies that have names that have nothing to do with the actual movie itself, but im guessing maybe it has something to do with murder by numbers (2) people ???? sorry i know i wasn't much help!
I thought they got the name from the song of the same name by The Police. It describes how to get yourself ready for a kill. I think it was also used in the movie serial killer movie Copycat.
I think Wendy has the right idea with they planned things out and carried it by the book or by the numbers. But I always took it as a play on words of Paint by Numbers. Where you know what you are supposed to do and then you do it.
it does have something to do with numbers i just cant remember the movie that well.
