24:30

24:59 · The holy number of three appears again in the fleur de lis, the French lily. It was first used during the twelfth century, and then as part of a larger fleur de lis pattern. Later it was used isolated as an ideogram denoting the right to rule France (and claims to it whether rightful or not).
    As a mark of cadency it denotes a sixth son. See 22:30 in Group 22 for facts about the marks of cadency.
    Nowadays, 24:59 is widely known as the international boy-scout sign.
