Something that came to me a few days ago (yes, one of my degrees is in
Math and I think this kind of stuff is interesting):


Using:

        n
      ------
      \
        \               n ( n + 1 )
        /     i    =   -------------
      /                      2
      ------
       i = 1  

so

       6x6 
      ------
      \
        \               36 ( 37 )
        /     i    =   -----------  =  666
      /                      2
      ------
       i = 1
