I note that the FTSE 100 share index currently stands at 6006.66.

I am easily amused.

Six-digit strings of numbers containing a 666 are not uncommon. Pick any finite string of digits and a range of, say, a thousand numbers in which you might possibly expect to find it. The larger the numbers in the range, the more likely you are to find your chosen string.

Actually, as the numbers approach infinity, you will find your chosen string of digits in practically all of them. Nearly every number above a certain size contains 666. Or 314159. Or whatever else you choose.

Numbers are fun. :-)
