    Correct answer.
    It has nothing whatsoever to do with six. It is a clerical official.

    What about sextant (navigational instrument). Or are there 6 reference points or 6 some other type things that rule this out?

    Anyways, another question since it has been ages since the last.

    What are the 2 largest European Banks? (talking about the whole groups size, not just flagship bank)

    Isn't Tiger the beer that came out of someone noticing that there were no "Indian" beers available in UK curry houses? If I'm right, it's British?

    No, it's actually Indian.
    It wasn't supposed to be a trick question.
    Anyway, new question.
