696969999 The upside down beast.
Base 10 is a very poor choice. Too bad humans do not have either 4 or 6 fingers on each hand. (I some times cite this "bad design" when in discussion with "intelligent designers" but rarely as they tend not to understand complex ideas.)...The numberologists would take a number and then express it in base ten as we do and then add the digits down to a value from 1 to 9. ...
I don't care whether it is bad. I am telling you that this is what they did.Base 10 is a very poor choice. Too bad humans do not have either 4 or 6 fingers on each hand.

Base 12 would be much better as many more numbers would be easily divided, in your head. (Same reason year of 12 months and day of 24 hours or the ancient year of 360 days are easy to divide into equal parts.)
I am too lazy, but what would the beast etc be in base 12? (10 = * and 11 = ** )
I.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, *, **
I assume the new rule would be divide down to ** instead of 9. Keep the number of heavens etc unchanged (I think they are related to the 5 visible planets plus sun and moon, to get seven days in the week, seven heavens etc.)
Anyone less lazy than me, want to find he beast for six fingered humans, like any truly "intelligent designer" would have made?
I did not intend you should be blamed for base ten! - You are much too clever, intellignet, etc. to have designed humans with five fingers.I don't care whether it {base ten sustem} is bad. I am telling you that this is what they did.
