Dear Doves,

In the first 1,000 digits of Pi there are only three discreet 4-digit numbers that occur three times, and they are 5778, 2019, and 8253. Now the first two numbers no doubt refer to the recent Jewish and Gregorian years respectively, however, until just a few hours ago 8253 had me stumped as it seemed to have no obvious meaning. The meaning, I believe, is this:

5778 is marked in numerous extraordinary ways including if a procedure is followed by converting the first two pairs of numbers into fractions and multiplying them we get 5/7 times 7/8 equals 5/8 or .625, and 625 squared is 390,625, which is the sum of the letters, verses, and chapters in the Torah. If we apply the same procedure to 8253 we get 8/2 times 5/3 equals 6.666... in other words, code for the mystical number 666 which I have pointed out many times previously on the board seems to be deeply embedded in the year 2022.

Hopefully the above is yet another evidence that the event we seek may occur even in the next few days.

Sincerely,  Dennis Pittinger
