What happens if we actually got the number of the beast wrong in the first place and the number really was 616?

Not everything can be "explained" that easily... Some people use absurd
maths to get what they want but that is not the case with some other things.

Ok now think of number 911:
9 1 1
9 1 1
9 1 1
9 10secs 8 secs
the average of 9, 10, 8 = 9+10+8 = 27 / 3numbers = 9 = 9 9 9
9secs 9 secs 9 secs
Now flip it upside down because the number 6 wasn't showing itself, it was hiding, through deciet.
6 6 6
I thought it was pretty neat, it hit me when I thought about how long it took to fall. Plus all these math formulas. Hey it might hold some truth, I know it's just like other peoples number theories on the number 666, I dont think anyone has replaced the 1 and 1 with the times it took the buildings to fall yet to arive at 666. So my theory is not a copy cat.

I think it wrong. I read something about a mistranslation of the old text so the number of the beast is 616 not 666. I dont know becuase I am a christian but I feel like if your focusing on a number that you think is the mark of the beast, the somehting is wrong. You should be more concerned about God and Jesus and Sinning in general then those numbers (this is not towards everybody, just those people that I know who are very fanatical about the number, I find it interesting but there is a limit.)

A newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it's actually the far less ominous 616.
The entire concept of the "number of the Beast" and the associated number of 666 is based upon something scholars call "gematria". In Hebrew, letters all have a numerical value. Gematria is the calculation of the numeric value of Hebrew letters, words, or phrases. Because of the nature of the Hebrew language and its symbolic character, gematria offers insight into the meta-meaning of Hebrew writings (i.e. the Tanakh (Torah, aka the Old Testament) and the Talmud).
Considering how much fake "gematria" some people find in things that conveniently yield 666 as their result, I'm guessing that pseudo-numerologists and armchair prophets will be in a tizzy for a few years to come.
