A silly thingy I got in an email

It is said that engineers take 3 minutes to resolve this, architects 3
hours and doctors 6 hours. If you guess the 6th number, you can open the
excel file by using the number as the password. Once you discover it, put
your name into the spreadsheet, save it and send the saved copy on. There's
no prize here, and no jokes. Just a little bit of self satisfaction.
If your tumor starts to thud because you can't get the answer, just ask.
I will be more than obliged to help.


What is the 6th number?

1, 2, 6, 42, 1806, ______?

It came along with a message: Chemists can do it under a minute. Well, that was true in my case :)

Easy.
Let's try a harder one.
Are you really saying physicians take 6 hours.

No, that just came with the email. Probably just some "hard" scientists bitter against doctors. I feel that happens a lot.

Just posting to say that was really easy. Took like 30 seconds. The 6 and the 42 really gave it away.
