My daily miscellaneous-writing notes go
YYYY/MM/DD. (And if anyone in England or Australia balks, quiet down. As Denis Leary said, WE GOT THE BOMBS.)
So it was by accident that I noticed 20100102 as a palindrome. But then I thought we could have 2010-10-2 (dropping the zero) and a lot of other cool dates like that too.
And it got me to thinking about 300 years in the future. Some people will never have a palindrome day, unless they live a long time. They'd have to cheat with 2301-03-2, and even after that it'd be tough to get anything. Switch days/months to get 2311-13-2, 2321-23-2 and then...nothing. Which is sort of vaguely sad. Stupid date/number tricks are fun. Amateur numerologists have been spoiled, since the start of the millenium.

aschultz - January 05, 2010 (06:49 PM) Wait! There's Ratio Day! 2346-01-02! 23/46 = 1/2... ...I wonder how many days can be made special this way? I guess some still will be special-er than others. For instance 2010-01-02 is ratio day, but 2010-01-05 can be too (2-010-01-05.) |
