Another oddity I just discovered..
There are 24 hours in a day. Divide that by the number of seconds in an hour (3600) and you get 0.00666
This is true of anything with a 2:3 ratio or 2:30 or 2:300, etc... because dividing by ten just shifts the decimal).
Also, you can create any repeating decimal by dividing a sequence of numbers by the equivalent amount of nines. For example: 17/99 = 0.17171717...
