"You have to breathe. Listen to yourself. You're connecting my computer bug with one you might've had and some religious hogwash.If you want the number 216, you can find it everywhere. 216 steps from your street corner to your front door, 216 seconds you spend in the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed you filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere. 320, 450, 22, whatever.
You've chosen 216 and you'll find it everywhere in nature.But, Max, as soon as you discard scientific rigour, you are no longer a mathematician,you're a numerologist."
