Shouldn't that be 56 positions? ;)
*edit* Do folks know the story behind that number and phrase BTW? It's apparently entirely arbitrary and meaningless, according to QI.

Edit: "The first processed food produced by H. J. Heinz in 1869 was horseradish. Ketchup didn't arrive until 1875 and baked beans didn't arrive until 1895. Supposedly, only 4 people know the secret baked bean recipe. Heinz never had "57 Varieties", they now have over 6,000 varieties. They are obsessed with the number 57 at Heinz, their telephone number ends with 57 57 57 and their address is PO Box 57, Pittsburgh. (Forfeit: Tomato Ketchup, Baked Beans)"
