I think this depends upon which country you live in. In the U.S.,
even-numbered and odd-numbered addresses are on opposite sides of
the street[1].

Is this true in other countries?

[1] I will of course be sent exceptions to this general principle.
Can we take it as given that there will be some places in the States
that don't follow this, and not go down that path?

As the Bestial Primes are of the form : 2*(10^n -1)/3 -5
The diabolical exponents n are: 2,3,4,10,18,21,22,28,43,66,121,133,178 ...

and are more numerous than the Mersenne Primes."

367 13 173 59 17 37
73 101 127 179 139 47

all entries are prime numbers, and each row, column, and
diagonal adds up to 666.

Until recently, there was a U.S. 666, the sixth in series of
branches of route 66.

Congratulations!

Now, here are the only Hyper-bestial primes:
HBP(1) = 6^2 + 7 ..... = 43
HBP(2) = 66^2 + 7 .... = 4363
HBP(3) = 666^2 + 7 ... = 44563
HBP(5) = 66666^2 + 7 = 4444355563
HBP(7) = 6666666^2 + 7 = 44444435555563
HBP(8) = 66666666^2 + 7 = 4444444355555563
HBP(n) = 4*(10^n - 1)^2/9 + 7

This sequence is (still) not in the OEIS. Incredible.

666^666 = 1 Beastol (B666)
B666-83 and B666+4163 the next prime neighbors of the Beastol.

Actually there are TWO numbers of the beast: 666 and 616 from Latin
sources, which are the total letter values of Nero Caesar in Hebrew
and Latin. Case closed IMO.

Or maybe it is the CD burning software, Nero.

Factor.exe ( http://home.netcom.com/~jrhowell/math/software.htm ) might
not be the ideal tool for this task.
Why not use a _primality checking_ program instead of a factorization
program?
