In physics, terms we take for granted can have very specific definitions. "Work", for example, involves moving an object a set distance. Power relates to the effort expended. The formula for power is:

Power = Work / Time

Now, use some well-known equivalences...

Knowledge = Power
Time = Money

Knowledge = Work / Money

...and, solving for money...

Money = Work / Knowledge

...and, of course, a larger denominator results in a smaller total value. Therefore, ignorant people make more money.

as was said, 7*6 = 42
7*6*5 = 210 (the number of AXONs that went posted the first day)

probably nothing really to note, in that paterns can be found in anything that was random with a limited set of options. Numbers have a very limited set of options, and so it is very easy to find patterns.

I was just thinking of 7! (7 factorial)

7*6*5*4 = 840 , does this number have any sort of meaning?

7*6*5*4*3 = 2520

7*6*5*4*3*2 = 7! = 5040

The first two numbers are the only ones that stand out to me.
