Hey look its a map!

[This is a News item] Number 6 typically wears a very deep brown jacket with white piping trim, a dark blue or black mock-turtleneck shirt, tan slacks, black boating shoes with white soles, and usually forsakes his “6″ ID badge.

Little is known about Number 6’s background other than that he fought in a war and was born on March 19, 1928. He refuses to reveal the reason behind his resignation, despite constant efforts by Number 2 to get this information from him.

Number 6 initially spends his energy seeking ways to escape, and later in the series turns his attention to finding out more about the Village and its unseen rulers. His attempts are easily rebuffed by Village authorities. However, their efforts to extract information necessitate increasingly drastic measures through the course of the series.

The later episodes feature fewer escape bids and more psychological themes such as the nature of power and authority, and their relationship with liberty. His cunning and defiance only increase while in captivity: in Hammer Into Anvil he reduces Number 2 to a mad, paranoid wreck through deception. As the Number 2s become more coercive and desperate, Number 6’s behaviour becomes progressively sharp, uncompromising, and eccentric.

Hey, look! It’s the quadratic equation! $latex \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ How exciting is that???

And here’s a study question!

[This is a News item] Harry Houdini was born into a Jewish family in Budapest, Hungary. His given name is found spelled differently in different sources and also his birth date is uncertain. However, years after his death a copy of his birth certificate was found and published in The Houdini Birth Research Committee’s Report (1972).

According to that original source, he was born on March 24, 1874 as Erich Weisz. Houdini himself spelled his name Ehrich Weiss, as can be seen from this letter to his mother. As to his birth date, from 1900 onwards Houdini claimed in interviews to have been born in Appleton, Wisconsin on April 6, 1874.
