A train station and a Pythagorean 'mother number' all provide an eternal resting place for a British queen. Who was she, and where is she?

But this site says it was platform 10. Now if I only knew what on earth you meant by a 'mother number', I might stand a chance of getting this right instead of casting about blindly on conflicting websites. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=6497 Mar 15 05, 6:04 PM

And good old Wikipedia suggests it could be platform 8 or 9 OR 10. You tell me, peasy, and while you're at it - what IS a mother number?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudicca Mar 15 05, 6:07 PM

Maggie babe, well done. And yep, she's under platform 10. For all you devote Pythagoreans out there, 10 was the all-embracing. all-limiting 'mother' number. Base 10 blah blah blah...you know what I mean. Mar 15 05, 6:12 PM

I don't think anyone is certain and nobody seems keen to let archaeologists dig around in the underground to find out. If we do discover for certain, I'll be sure to celebrate with a good old Pythagorean ox-sacrifice. Mar 15 05, 6:16 PM
