The numberphile as he calls himself dives in to the mystery behind the number 6 6 6.  It has been called the number of the beast.  What does that mean?  In addition to being referenced in the bible with such a description it has interesting mathematical properties.  Apparently that number also turns up in the game of roulette.  And noted in the video an American roulette table is different than a Monte Carlo roulette table.  The American table has two 0s and the Monte Carlo table has just one 0.
