It puts me in mind of a sci fi or fantasy adventure book -“The Book of Six” by Boris R R R R Johnson.

What does it put you in mind of?

I didn’t mean to enable voting!

I especially like the drinking game idea - what would the rules be?

It's very 'Gang of Four' I think that's what it reminds me of!

A diet plan

A complicated scientific rule (probably physics) that only boffins can grasp

CHIRIBAYA · 10/09/2020 18:51

Follow the rule of six so you don't roll a seven. Yes, it really is crap(s)

RoseAndRose · 10/09/2020 18:52

Yes, I thought 'Sign of Four' as well!

PremierInn · 10/09/2020 18:54

Great thread!

Definitely Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie for me

Who passed on the covid? The butler in the library with the candlestick and no hand sanitiser.

When I was younger my friends and I used to say there was a rule of six wit men because for every six you dated or shagged you'd fall for one

James Bond movie it card game...maybe a Bond movie, featuring the card game of the same name 🤔.

Medical term...there need to be thus many symptoms before they admit you for something.

Don’t know why I put “Book of Six” and not “Rule of Six” in the OP, although that would work too.

It sounds to me like some sort of pagan ritual

MarshaBradyo · 10/09/2020 19:02

Pagan ritual here too

Maybe some witches

nevermorelenore · 10/09/2020 19:04

A rule for creating the perfect K-Pop band.

UncleMatthewsEntrenchingTool · 10/09/2020 19:06

It’s an episode of Sherlock I think, the rule of three?
