666= 23 - The Number 23 (2007) Discussion

[–] CFXAZ 16 years ago

666= 6+6+6 = 18

2+3=5

18+5= 23

Right...sure it does - and so does 777

777 = 7+7+7=21

1+1 =2

21+2 = 23

LOL - The same place you pulled a 2 & 3 out of 666.

Um, 2 and 3 being the two digits making up 23, perhaps...?

Although the OP likely had this in mind it is not at all valid since those numbers are not in "666." If the OP wants to make up his own "rules" for making a number equal 23 then you can pretty much make any number equal 23.

That's as ridiculous as saying:

0+0=0
0+23=23!

I just wasted 5 minutes of my life - OMG: 2+3=5. Ahhhhh!!!!

Hmm - not quite.

0 + 0 = 0, that's just one of the basic properties of addition in Z. But saying that 0 + 23 = 23! Well, that's just nonsense.

We all know, that 23! = 25852016738884976640000.

The number of the beast is 616 though, the mistake was discovered ages ago why does Hollywood still claim that it is 666?

Many translations of the Bible do represent the number of the beast as 616, however, just for the record, in the original Hebrew text the number reads six hundred, three score, and six. So 666 is acurate. I'm not trying to be sarcastic or a 'know-it-all' or nothing, just thought I would let you now. Feel free to look it up.

I was standing in this long line. I was No. 665. The guy behind me tapped me on the shoulder and said, Whose that guy up there about 40 spots with the horns?"

I think it was the guy who played with Springsteen.

[–] yurenchu 10 years ago

616, you say?

6 x 1 x 6 = 36
6 + 1 + 6 = 13

36 - 13 = .... 23

!!!! Aaargh!

One problem (among many) with the whole 23 thing is that 2/3 does not equal 0.666 as it is claimed. It equals 0.6666666666.... Rounded to three decimal places, it is 0.667 -- the guy who lives across the street from the beast.

Besides, even if we truncate to get 0.666, then it all seems pretty arbitrary to choose three decimal places. Why not 0.66 or 0.6666?

How true, and furthermore does .1 = 1? No. Then .666 doesn't equal 666 - maybe it's 1/1000th of "the beast." Some people's kids, I tell you!

BTW, are you the UBF pirate_john? If so you know who I am.

100-77 uncanny

11x2 +1 getting wierd now

My age 29 - 6 (the number of days - 1 in a week) = 23

every month has 23 days in it, this is not coincidence

I had 2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 pieces of toast, 45 beans and 2 hash browns then i went to the toilet once.

45/2 =22.5 +2 +2 +2 - the toilet stop, then my 4 1/2 year old cousin came round and washed up, again i do believe that god works in mysterious ways.

Fortunately watching the film once was enough

2/3 ~ 0.667 = "the guy who lives across the street from the beast."

You know, I wander through these posts all the time while I'm watching whatever movie they refer to. It's dam*ed seldom that one of them tickles me enough to make me laugh out loud. Bravo, pirate_john!

You can't just throw in numbers that aren't in the original number or pertaining to what adds up to 23, INCLUDING the number 23.

Stupid post.

Okay, just to quash this once and for all -- this works with any 2-digit number between 20 and 29 -- say, 28:

666:
6+6+6=18.
28:
2+8=10

18+10=28

...because you've used the number (23 r 27) in the formula, and it's your expected answer. It works for the same reason that this works:

Take any 2-digit number (call it X)
Add the digits together (call the result Y)
Subtract Y from X (call the result Z)
Add the digits of Z together
...and you'll always get 9.

And 23 is a just an easy number to play games with. It's not magic, or even a massive coincidence; it's just an easy number to play these kinds of games with.

In fact, there's a card game I used to play, called 24. You flip over any 4 cards, and try to do basic math to get them to add up to 24. (For example, Ace, Deuce, Four, Four = 1, 2, 4, 4, and (4+2)*1*4 = 24!) It works much more often than you'd think... but it's just because 24 is magical either; it's just mathematically convenient. (Of course, 4*4*2*1 is 32, and 32 reversed is 23. It's just a coincidence.)

able to get some sleep?!?! from now on any time i EVER have trouble sleeping i'll need only to read this completely ridiculous post in its entirity. Goldlust you are spot on with the comment about 'convenient' numbers as well. I can see 23 wherever i want, if i look hard enough. My birth date, birth year, christian name, christian name & surname, no. of posters on my wall and number of brain cells i've lost reading this post all equal that frickin number
