--Really? [ A startled grin. ] So one hundred ... twenty-three? Twenty-four?
[ Matt shakes his head, slightly bashful once again. ]
One hundred and eight is a sacred number in Hinduism--uhh, a religion from my world. The diameter of our sun was about 108 times the diameter of the earth, the distance between the earth and our moon was about 108 times the diameter of the moon. There's all kinds of astrological and spiritual confluences like that, so. [ He smiles. ] It seemed like a good guess.
