Start with the number of stars in the Big Dipper, multiply by the number of Fates in Greek mythology and subtract the number of the winds. What number do you get?

[Sunhawk]

In which mythos do you want the "number of winds" from?

[Sunhawk]

84

... assuming 4 winds.

[Rakhal]

Fraid not. I'd guess Chinese (aka Mahjongg)

[Sunhawk]

Oops!

18.

(3 fates * 7 stars) - 3 winds.

(misread the question >_<)

[Fallacies]

17

Actually, it's Kenshiro passing gas at Belldandy ...

[Rakhal]

Cookie awarded! (there are 4 winds)
