I am a PHIL HELLMUTH fan living in Nacogdoches, Texas (where the shuttle came down). I am also involved in a research project involving the hexadecimal (base 16) numbering system and evaluating names based on the A=10 (10=1+0=1), B=11 (11=1+1=2) ... E=14 (14=1+4=5) ...

LUCKY NO. 99, you can kiss your "Wayne Gretzky" mystique goodbye. Wayne Gretzky was #99 and was the best; and you, LUCKY NO. 99, were hexadecimal #99 and were the best. Right now, August 6, 2005, I am watching the Travel Channel "World Poker Tour". What's up with the "Phil Hellmuth, Jr."?

Allow me to use the hexadecimal KISS principle, which reduces the hexadecimal (base 16) numbering system to unit numbers: A=10 (10=1+0=1) ... E=14 (14=1+4=5) ...

[Wayne]+[Gretzky]
Wayne = [5+1(A=10=1+0=1) +7+5+5(E=14=1+4=5)] = 23 = 2+3 = 5
Gretzky = [7+9+5(E=14=1+4=5) +2+8+2+7] = 40 = 4+0 = 4
TOTAL = 63 = 6+3 = 9.
His Jersey was #99.

[Phil]+[Hellmuth]
Phil = [7+8+9+3] = 27 = 2+7 = 9
Hellmuth = [8+5(E=14=1+4=5) +3+3+4+3+2+8] = 36 = 3+6 = 9
TOTAL = 63 = 6+3 = 9.
FIRST NAME = 9
LAST NAME = 9.

"The Man In Black"
[Johnny]+[Cash]
Johnny = 1+6+8+5+5+7 = 32 = 3+2 = 5
Cash = 3(C=hexadecimal 12=1+2=3) +1(A=10=1+0=1) +1+8 = 13 = 1+3 = 4
TOTAL = 45 = 4+5 = 9.

[Tiger]+[Woods]
Tiger = 2+9+7+5+9 = 32 = 3+2 = 5
Woods = 5+6+6+4+1 = 22 = 2+2 = 4
TOTAL = 54 = 5+4 = 9.

[Phil]+[Hellmuth]+[Jr]
Phil = [7+8+9+3] = 27 = 2+7 = 9
Hellmuth = [8+5(E=14=1+4=5)+3+3+4+3+2+8] = 36 = 3+6 = 9
Jr = [1+9] = 10 = 1+0 + 1.
FIRST NAME = 9
LAST NAME = 9
JR = 1
TOTAL = 19

CHAOS = 3(C=hexadecimal 12=1+2=3) +8+1(A=10=1+0=1) +6+1 = 19

FAIL = 6+1+9+3 = 19

AMBUSH = 1(A=10=1+0=1) + 4+2(B=11=1+1=2) +3+1+8 = 19

SLAIN = 1+3+1+9+5 = 19

BURN = 2+3+9+5 = 19

BREAK = 2+9+5+1+2 = 19

TURN = 2+3+9+5 = 19

TWIST = 2+5+9+1+2 = 19

HELL = 8+5+3+3 = 19 (Thank God for the "Muth"!!)

GET RID OF THE "JR" and return to
PHIL HELLMUTH = 99
THE MAN IN BLACK.

Hello! Anybody getting a clue?
