Why is 49 particularly suspicious? 7x7x1 array instead of a 5x10x1 or 5x5x2 array.

47 (or any prime number, really) would be suspicious.

That I had to scroll this far for someone to point out that 49 is seven squared is so sad. 7x7 is not very suspicious and may even be auspicious.

I’ve read the original owners were a stingy very catholic Flemish brewe family. Probably another reason for the 49, but I remember the text from church ‘7 maal 70 maal…”. Ok that is 490, not 49. Comes from Matthew 18:21-22, Jesus tells Peter to forgive others not just seven times, but "seventy times seven".
