Sorry man, the number of the Beast is actually 616, not 666:
Around 2005, a fragment from Papyrus 115, taken from the Oxyrhynchus site, was discovered at the Oxford University's Ashmolean Museum. It gave
the beast's number as 616 χις. This fragment is the oldest manuscript (about 1,700 years old) of Revelation 13 to date.[13][14]

That was a very impressive display of mental gymnastics though. Although, in all fairness, you never explained why it was acceptable to reverse some
numbers, add some numbers, or only use certain factors of numbers when multiplying. In fact, you could have used any of the following numbers as
factors of 432:
1 x 432 = 432
2 x 216 = 432
3 x 144 = 432
4 x 108 = 432
6 x 72 = 432
8 x 54 = 432
9 x 48 = 432
12 x 36 = 432
16 x 27 = 432
18 x 24 = 432
24 x 18 = 432
27 x 16 = 432
36 x 12 = 432
48 x 9 = 432
54 x 8 = 432
72 x 6 = 432
108 x 4 = 432
144 x 3 = 432
216 x 2 = 432
432 x 1 = 432
Unless you can perform the same feat with any of the above factors, it is only your personal confirmation bias, and not an actual mystical experience,
that suggests you use 3, 8, and 18. If you want some more number fun though, have a look at this:
Step 1: familiarize yourself with the Fibonacci Sequence.
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89...
Step 2: apply some of your mental gymnastics. Say, the first "time" you mentioned, 1:11, therefore, 1 = 11, so...
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89...
Becomes:
0, 11, 11, 22, 33, 55, 88, 143, 231, 374, 605, 979, 1584...
Step 3: make an arbitrary rule up, for example: look, 2 numbers match, align them there, but also add some zeros before each number so their alignment
looks prettier on the eyes:
0000
0001
0001
0002
0003
0005
0008 - 11
0013 - 11
0021 - 22
0034 - 33
0055 - 55
0089 - 88
0144 - 143
0233 - 231
0377 - 374
0610 - 605
0987 - 979
1597 - 1584
Step 4: oh look, a subtraction sign, guess we better do the mathematical operation it encourages:
0000
0001
0001
0002
0003
0005
0008 - 11 = -3
0013 - 11 = -2
0021 - 22 = -1
0034 - 33 = 1
0055 - 55 = 0
0089 - 88 = 1
0144 - 143 = 1
0233 - 231 = 2
0377 - 374 = 3
0610 - 605 = 5
0987 - 979 = 8
1597 - 1584 = 13
Step 5: audibly gasp and be amazed that Fibonacci, minus mystically-attained Fibonacci, equals Fibonacci!
