Hexagon 6 the Inner Circle is protected by Octogon 8 the Middle Circle from us the Quadrangle 4

684; 6 orders 8, and 8 orders 4; if the 8 would give 2 points to the 4, then 684 would be 666. As 684 - 18 (18 is 3x6 or 666) = 666. In fact during a war the 8 temporarily gives 2 points or 1 for each hand to us the 4, making the war time org the 666 and the "peace" time org the 666+6+6+6=684.
