5:5.
What exactly does it mean? I remember the first time I heard that said aloud. It was on Buffy the Vampire slayer. None of the characters or even the viewers ever knew what it meant. Yet it was repeated by the same character over and over. The name of the character that said "five by five" was Faith.
Perhaps by saying 5:5, Q is telling us to have some faith. He tells us we have forgotten how to play the game. What have we forgotten? Could it be that we all have forgotten about faith? Ancient writings from all over the world tell us of miracles or things we see as impossible today. One example is Stonehenge. How did it get built. The people of old knew something we don't.
FAITH- complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
