    Wait a second... 11 minuted and 6 seconds long video? 11 minutes times 60 is 660. Plus 6 seconds is 666! THE VIDEO OF THE BEAST!!!!!!
  • @kimanih617
    this is the most unbiased, educational, religious, nonreligious video I have ever seen. as a Christian.
  • 666 = 2²+ 3²+ 5²+ 7²+ 11²+ 13²+ 17² Notice the prime numbers?
  • @MitchellWiggs
    Life makes so much more sense when you realize there aren't invisible magic creatures controlling things for you.
  • Is anyone else bothered by the guy’s insistence to differentiate between the American and Monte Carlo roulette wheels but at the end adding 00 would get you the same 666 so what was the point?
  • Someone needs to give me a reminder to watch this on October 18, when it's been 6 years, 6 months and 6 days since the release of this video.

    am i the only one that when he said: for it is a human number, and this number is 666, started singing I'M LEFT ALONE
  • @Wargon2013
    I find it hilarious how the one guy is explaining stuff related to the bible and James talks about the Roulette tables^^
  • Thankyou for explaining the meaning of 666 in such a clear and convincing way. Very enlightening.

    8:32 The triangle on his hand!!! He knows something....
  • @yousorooo
    666 is a triangular number? Illuminati confirmed.
  • You guys seem to have forgotten Nero was nicknamed "the beast" after the fire of Rome. The number of the beast, 666, Neron Caeser.
  • @MrAttila1217
    I love the idea that you put side-by-side the answer that a mathematician and someone working in the humanities would give! The first few minutes where they  contradict each other's statements are especially nicely timed and a funny contrast. Thank you Numberphile! :)
  • @ifacro

    "WOW! Now to wait for the perfect moment to use that knowledge in a conversation..." . . . . . . Still waitin....
  • In Roman numerals I - 1 V - 5 X - 10 L - 50 C - 100 D - 500 Add them up 500+100=600 600+50=650 650+10=660 650+5= 665 665+1= 666 Coincidence?
