At the age of fifteen top of his class in
woodwork! So what’s this latest woodworking project Number 6 has been working
on? One observer had the idea that Number 6 might have developed some new kind
of Peeping-Tom device, but this was dismissed when the Supervisor suggested
that it might be some sort of measuring device, that he might he be measuring
distance, but between The Village and how far away? Number 6 was also observed to make notes of
something on a piece of paper.
At some point the wooden contraption was
found to have been dumped in the woods. The technical department took the
pieces back to a laboratory, and put it all back together, revealing that it
was in fact a Triquetrum. An early Greek astrological measuring device used by
Claudius Ptolemy AD 90 – 168. Not a hundred percent accurate, but not too bad
either. Who else could have made such a device in The Village, let alone have
knowledge of the Triquetrum in the first place! It could only be Number 6. And it would appear there is no end to his knowledge and skills!
