  For an interpretation
  of 588, see

  Guy Fawkes Day: Twilight Kingdom,
  Grail: The Hermeneutics of Chance,
  Camelot: The Legend Continues,
  A Case for Indiana Jones,
  Spots of Time Revisited.

  For an interpretation
  of 715, see
  7/15, Ein Bild:

  ist dabei herausgekommen?"

  The number 588 above
  is clearly a MacGuffin.

   "It is a very difficult
  philosophical question,
   the question of
    what 'random' is."

  -- Herbert Robbins, co-author
     of What is Mathematics?
