    Wife has a project due in school. She explained it to me and asked for my help, but I wasn't really paying attention. :eek:

    Anyways it has something to do with the number six making something whole. Anybody know of anything?

    Walk up to your wife and ask her to explain it once more. Hopefully she won't trash your ass.

    it's her own fault. If you had an XBOX 360, you wouldn't have fallen asleep. :p

    If I had to guess, I'd say it was the coin thing -- about how six coins can be arranged around another and they will all touch both eachother and the central coin without gaps.

    6 is the 360th decimal place of pi. 3 is the 359th and 0 is the 361st... so ultimately you get 360 centered around the 360th spot. Quite interesting really.

    It's 1/3 of the number of the beast, therefore it is symbolically 1/3 of the beast and represents the last showdown of Armageddon when Bruce Dickinson will be holding a musket aloft while flying a Delta passenger plane into a pitched battle against Alexander the Great and the forces of the undead.

    isn't it 1/111 of the number of the beast? 6/666 = 1/111, no? Bruce will not fight the dead, he will dance with them.
