Behind the scenes
Though unremarked in the short story Daisy Chain, two is also the third number in the Fibonacci sequence. Also, unremarked in the audio drama The Haunting is that two is a prime number.
It should be relocated at 2 (number) because this is just another language's word for said number
Talk about it here or check the revision history for additional comments.
Blinss was a number that translated in to English as the number 2. It was part of the language utilised by the captain's spaceship that was drifting at the edge of the universe. The Fourteenth Doctor did not know what language it was part of, therefore did not know what the word meant. However, he did read it and did translate it as the number 2 when read in conjunction with the ship's base codes. By doing so, he could read the data logs and control parts of the ship, having deciphered enough of the language to do so. (TV: Wild Blue Yonder [+]Loading...["Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)"])
