---I've actually gotten five sets to do the math thing thus far (Dials 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7), but I can't make anything of it. And I don't really think I'm on to anything with dial #1. It's just a coincidence with dial #1, I think, but still an interesting one nonetheless.

---*shrug* : ) : ) Dials 5 and 6 still puzzle me.
