>>876892856 sweeps and 13 years make sense though, since they're innately tied to the two teams' arc numbers
413 - four thirteen-year-olds
612 - 12 six-sweep-olds
additionally, you can quite comfily convert 6 sweeps into just about 13 years with 2.16, which actually shows a decent amount of forethought put into the numbers. not to mention the 1025 thing.
of course there's the exception in the alpha kids' session, since they're all 15 when they enter the game and turn 16 when the beta kids arrive, but their session was more or less designed for that and by this point i think hussie was just putting less effort and thought into everything anyway, hence lazy numbers like 11/11/11.
not to mention their session was a dead one intended for them from the beginning to wait for another four players, so we're just throwing out exceptions like cheap cigars here.
anyway, 11 doesn't seem to make as much sense - assuming it actually does translate into 16, then that's.. i don't know, 1.45? 0.6875? neither of those numbers have any real importance to anything. it'd also make calliope and caliborn's 13 year old equivalents roughly 8.9375 or, rounded up, 9 units, which again - neither of those numbers have any real relevance to anything.
not that the numbers have to, but it's weird - since the start of the comic hussie bombarded us with 413, 612, and 1025 - before just stopping with all the number nonsense entirely around arc 6. i can only think that he either stopped caring (which explains a lot about arc 6, to be honest) or just got really lazy (which.. also explains a lot)
when was calliope's age placed at 11, again, anyway?
