356 BC Alexander the Great is born. According to legend the same night the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, was burned. Plutarch states that the goddess was too busy overlooking Alexanders birth to protect her temple. Herostratus, the arsonist, admitted his crime and said he did it to leave his name in history.

In Sydney NSW Australia, the 357 bus takes you from Mascot to Bondi Junction.

If you want to take it, you should note it is prepay only (you can't use cash on the bus).

361 the lowest number that is centred both octagonally and decagonally.

It also happens to be triangular centred and the square of 19.

Also if you turn completely around and go just that tiniest tad too far that's probably the number of degrees you've turned.
