Today is a palindrome date

  1. A bit of useless information for you - 2nd February 2020 is a reversible date when written numerically 02/02/2020 .
    It doesn't happen very often - unless you cheat a bit - as in the date of our wedding and also my wife's 21st birthday 7th November 1970 - which I usually write as 07/11/70.
    Next palindrome date is 12/12/2121 so don't hold your breath

    Wait until its twenty past eight this evening then!
    I've finally got over being spooked by the relatively high number of times that I see double numbers on digital clocks.
    Been through all the rational and mathematical arguments about it and just got used to it now ... First time was a "joke" in my book as it was 20:20 on a DVD player .....
    ("20:20 vision"?)
    Now it's three or four times a day, and that's not counting when I happen to be walking past a clock.
    Anyone else?

    Am I being overly thick, or will the next one be 12th Feb next year?
    And another one on the 22nd Feb the year after?

    12/02/2021 and 22/02/2022
    Someone tell me why I'm wrong
     
  7. Correct:thumbsup: I've got a pic off twitter with the 21st century dates that are 7 or 8 digit palindrome but I can't get on Tapatalk to post it:(

    No by my reckoning you're right unless you can have only two numbers in the palindrome?
    The last one apparently was 909 years ago - I make that 11/11/1111?

  9. I can't fault your logic either :thumbsup:
     
  10. Looks good to me
     
  11. The morning rush, school runs etc, I very frequently glance at the clock on breakfast news and its showing 7:47.

    Shame its also frequently showing Naga Munchetty.......

    More times than not, I’ll look at the clock at 8.08. Dunno why...
