Strategy[]
Assign a Blocker to the second Lemming. Assign a Basher to the first Lemming when it faces the wall to its right. Immediately assign a Builder to the Basher once it finishes bashing; assign a Builder skill to the Builder again if it runs out of stairs. Assign a Basher to the Builder when it reaches the next number 6. Inside this number 6, assign a Basher to the Lemming at the right wall. Immediately assign a Builder to the Basher once it finishes bashing. Assign a Basher to the Builder when it reaches the last number 6. Assign a Miner to any Lemming directly facing the Blocker, then immediately assign a Builder to the Miner. All Lemmings will reach the Exit.
Alternate strategy[]
Assign a Basher to any Lemming facing the right wall. Assign a Digger to any Lemming behind it to hold all other Lemmings. Assign a Builder to the Digger once no Lemmings can walk out of its hole. Immediately assign a Builder to the Basher once it finishes bashing; assign a Builder skill to the Builder again if it runs out of stairs. Assign a Basher to the Builder when it reaches the next number 6. Inside this number 6, assign a Basher to the Lemming at the right wall. Immediately assign a Builder to the Basher once it finishes bashing. Assign a Basher to the Builder when it reaches the last number 6. Back at the left number 6, assign a Builder to any Lemming. Repeatedly do so until all Lemmings are free.
Version differences[]

Notes[]
- This level was removed in some versions of the original game, likely due to the number 666 being associated as "the number of the beast". Various ports replace this level with a different one:
- In the Mac version, Going Their Separate Ways takes its place.
- In non-Japanese versions of the SNES port, it is replaced by Ohayo Lemming san!.
- On the Sega Master System, Sixes not! takes its place, with the level's name directly referencing this one.
- In the Genesis/Mega Drive version, Don't leave any Lemmings replaces this level.
- This level was actually named after the traditional British Bingo call for the number 66.
- Mike Dailly mentioned trying to make it use values of 55. However, it was not possible to set the required Lemmings save percentage to display 55% (Lemmings always rounds down except for the Commodore 64, so 30/55 is 54% and 31/55 is 56%). Dailly suggests the player is helping the Lemmings escape from hell "to a far better land".[1]
- The Lemming count and save requirements for Lemmings Touch (66, 55, 44) and the Commodore 64 port of the original game (33, 22) are all multiples of the number 11.
