I got two picks on the nose.
Smack on the nose, Sol.

:29:08
Something's going on.
:29:10
It has to do with that number.
There's an answer in it.

:29:13
Max... Come with me.
:29:18
The ancient Japanese
considered the Go board

:29:21
to be a microcosm
of the universe.

:29:24
Although, when it's empty,
it appears simple and ordered,

:29:29
the possibilities of gameplay
are endless.

:29:33
No two Go games are alike,
just like snowflakes.

:29:37
So, the Go board
actually represents

:29:41
an extremely complex
and chaotic universe.

:29:47
And that's the truth
of our world, Max.

:29:51
It can't be
easily summed up with math.

:29:54
There is no simple pattern.
:29:57
But as the game progresses, the
possibilities become smaller.

:30:00
The board takes on order.
Soon, every move's predictable.

:30:03
So?
:30:04
So maybe, even though
we're not aware of it,

:30:08
there is a pattern, an order
underlying every Go game.

:30:14
Maybe it's like the pattern
in the stock market?

:30:17
The Torah? This 216 number?
:30:20
- It's insanity.
- Maybe it's genius.

:30:23
- I must get that number.
- Hold on! You're losing it.

:30:26
You have to breathe.
Listen to yourself.

:30:30
You're connecting my computer
bug with one you might've had

:30:34
and some religious hogwash.
:30:36
If you want the number 216,
you can find it everywhere.

:30:41
216 steps from your street
corner to your front door,

:30:44
216 seconds
you spend in the elevator

:30:49
When your mind becomes obsessed
:30:52
you filter everything else out
and find that thing everywhere.

:30:56
320, 450, 22, whatever.
:30:59
You've chosen 216 and you'll
find it everywhere in nature.
