Simple Maths. The sum of integers starting from 1 is n(n+1)/2, therefore 36x37/2, ie 666

That's one of the formulae you learn at school that can come in quite handy in life. I can still remember how to prove/derive the formula as well.

Drove passed clarets store earlier today and immediately thought that they had Rowls in mind when they designed the window with stickers saying "snow nay never".
