Of course, he's absolutely right. It's simple numerology.

2:42 is 162 seconds. Add the digits together for 9. The square root of 9 is 3 (3*3=9). The square of 9 is 81, and 81*2=162.
So 162 can be represented as (3^2)^2*2. Notice that there are three 2's there, and also 6=3*2, and 1+2=3. It just screams the Golden Ratio.

Duh.

Thomashorne, my thoughts exactly.
