    From Qi: The book of general ignorance…

    What is the number of the beast?
    616
    The number is from the book of Revelation, the last and strangest book in the Bible: ‘Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.’
    But it’s the wrong number. in 2005, a new translation of the earliest known copy of the Book of Revelation (1700 years old) clearly shows it to be 616, not 666.
