 		[SPEC] Divisible by 6? analysis matricies on YMR
Not sure where I might be going with this but on the tagruato.jp site under YMR and 'A Day in The Life of a YMR Doctor' anyone else notice that the analysis matricies used to determine valid reserch results are divisible by six, the doctor mentions using plates of wells containing 96, 384 and 1536 wells in each. Dividing each figure by six gives 16, 64 and 256 respectively which is of course every other step in microprocessor development addressing sequence 8-16-32-64-128-256 at which 256 bits its at its 6th itteration.

Lot of six references in there. while at the same time if in reference to the 6 flvours on the slusho site probably identifies the number of flavours that can be mixed, so finding the flavour mix that turns you into a nation destroying monster is probably quite a rare commodity.

Just thinking out loud, but who knows. Confused

 		doesn't help us much, but good find. It's always neat to find out where the number 6 reappears (although I would like to find it's meaning...).

 		6 goes into 18...
...how many times?
I think the ol' 6+6+6 = 18 thing might be of use somewhere along here too.

Number of the beast and all of that.

 		I'm guessing this movie will be a sequel to the number 23.

 		not saying that this is not relevant in any way.. but plates with those numbers of wells are commonly used in labs where there are no sinister multiples of 6 work going on.. 96 well plates esp. are used commonly in PCR and sequencing reactions.. amongst other things

 		I wonder what the number six and seven (the Slusho Seven on Myspace) will mean to us in the end.

Good find. Most of what we have to do now is wait, I suppose.

 		the number 23 was good actually lol Razz

with those numbers, maybe its worth checking for more numbers to see if it reveals an i.p of a site?

I think you are just noticing the fractal growths of the number 6. I don't think that there's a special meaning, just that someone likes to build their number references off of the number 6. Basically all these larger numbers being built from a basis of 6 in some way just keeps pointing us back at the importance of the number 6.

Nice thought, except that IPs have to be 4 sets of numbers, ranging from 0-255. That means the set of 3 numbers initially mentioned is one set short, and the last (256) is one too high.

Ooh, solid facts! Let's use 'em instead of dancing around with vague numerology and Biblical references.

So cmg, can you tell me the reason that 96, 384, 1536 are used in biology work?

I think it would probably be entirely unlike the use of 'bit' designations in computer CPUs, where the 16, 32, and 64-bit processors are in the mathematical sequence:

2^4, 2^5, 2^6... (which is 16, 32, 64, etc)

I hate to fall into the old logical trap of dividing or multiplying or adding everything you see by 6 randomly and then trying to make some numerological connections with that. The nature of numbers is that, if you keep on doing mathematical operations arbitrarily with ANY number, you'll find some 'connections'. You see this logical fallacy in lame Biblical prophecy type scenarios all of the time.

Laughing Laughing Speaking of which, Dec. 9th is the 6th night of Chanukah (this year), and I found this on a website talking about rituals for the 6th night of Chanukah:

Quote:
While it is common to think of there being four seasons, according to Gen. 9:22 the seasons number six. . . We also see the number six in our six pointed star, the six directions in nature (north, south, east, west, up, down), and six visible colors in the rainbow. Six is the balance and beauty of the physical world.


Very Happy Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm not trying to resurrect any Biblical theories; I agree w/what you say, human. 100%

So you know I didn't make that up... http://telshemesh.org/tevet/ritual_for_the_sixth_night_of_chanukah.html

 		i cannot tell you why these were originally chosen.. i am much too young to be familiar with the early days of molecular biology work..(or even the pre-2000s molecular biology) but i know now that all of the tools used today revolve around these microtiter plates, as they are called.. I know they make them in 6 and 24 as well..

they were originally used for ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay), but now PCR almost entirely revolves around these individual 8 tube strips and 8X12 plates (which is convenient b/c all of these numbers, sans 6 are multiples of 8..) and all of the tools are in multiples of 8 (multichannel pipetters, sequencing glass pipettes, etc)

my ultimate point being... I do not know if there was some sinister numerological purpose to these originally.. but I know that at least since the 50's or so plates have been used in these denominations of wells.. and they probably did a simple google search to locate this.. there was no choosing on their part.. any common well plate denomination that I have ever seen is a multiple of 6.. it would've been much stranger if they'd chosen an uncommon number..

 		Excellent update cmg

thinking through your feedback, given there may be the remote possibility there is a link between deep sea drilling and ingestion of some unknown element that affects the human physiology (pure speculation so far, see all other postings here) is there any merit do you think in a reduction somewhere that might lead us to a formulaic approach to slusho divulging some form of indicator, maybe the clues are quite literal somewhere ie. successful and/or failed wells providing perhaps an array based pictoral reference we can follow. not sure where the clues for this might lie.

Okay I having read that over its perhaps way to deep for this type discussion (arg) but hell who knows what devious minds are at play. Exclamation
