The phrase "at sixes and sevens" could simply refer to an analog clock wherein there is a 'confusion' or 'tangle' of hands when they are in the area of the six and seven.

I don't recall reading this anywhere before, but the first time I encountered the phrase (in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass" perhaps?) I automatically assumed that that's was what the phrase referred to, an analog clock. Larsenward (talk) 13:56, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
