The number of the devil is actually seven seven seven QI says it's 616 which co-incidently is the number of emperor nero... which is quite a hint From QI website: No 10, Downing Street is one of the most heavily guarded buildings in Britain. Apart from the decorative policeman, the front door cannot be opened at all from the outside because it has no handle, and no one can enter the building without passing through an airport-style scanner and a set of security gates manned by armed guards. In the first five years after Tony Blair became Prime Minister, 37 computers, 4 mobile phones, two cameras, a mini-disc player, a video recorder, four printers, two projectors and a bicycle were stolen from inside the house.

I imagine it would be quite fun, but I suppose there's some scientific excuse
