How did I never know that 666 in Roman numerals was just descending letter values starting with D? That's very cool, and makes me wonder if that is part of its origin.
TIL, too, but it makes sense. Romans used 5 a lot so with 6 being just one number higher, you get that cascading one removed in the digit.
DCLXVI also sounds pretty cool. Middle school me would have loved to go by \666DCLXVI666// or some such nonsense, lol.
