- "Some thoughts on the number 6", by John Baez. "There are symmetries of the symmetry group of a 6-element set that don't come from symmetries of that set. This is only true for the number 6. It is a truly amazing property of the number 6, which turns out to be connected to many things." http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/six.html 78 comments math
