"re: Beauty & the Beast - question"

John:  This certainly gave me the creeps - does it mean that Mrs. B.O. also knows his true identity?? I'm not surprised since I saw her on the cover of a major news magazine giving that satanic hand symbol with the fingers pointed out like horns...and if so - did they even name their kids for their "true religion?" (e.g. Natasha contains "Ah Satan" backwards), and those in this cult often do things "backwards" to mask them - such as in backward music masking...
 
Also, a question - when I counted the stones at the top of the brooch (including the stone on each side), I got 18 on the top and 21 on the bottom. On the 3 sixes you unraveled, I counted 26 stones, 25 stones and 26 stones (on the center one) - you had 36---?  I count 7 stones on each side, only if you count the one at the very top and the very bottom too (I also included those in the count on the top and bottom) ---What did I do differently?
 
Truly - he is at the doors!

Thanks, Rene.

Don't count the three SIXES separately. Count the triplet as one: 26 + 5 + 5 = 36

You may be right. The total number is 121 instead of 120. But 121 is 55 + 66 -- two repdigit triangular numbers!

I think the article needs an update.
