1949threepence Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Only one hour left of this magical date Last 'repetitive' date of our lifetimes.But still some interesting date combos left. Next year, for example, we've got 11/12/1302/02/2020 is a perfect palindrome ~ the converse of 20/02/2002....to name but two.....Incidentally, next year is the first since 1987, not to have at least 2 digits the same.

Peter Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 I've just peed on Mrs Peter's planted bush...It feels good. Plus I've ordered 2 sneekie coins and a book...I wear the trousers. Quote

Something I resolutely refuse to do, and if I'm filling in a form with boxes for the date, I just leave the first box empty without putting their horrid horrid zero in it. Mind you, there will be some interesting genuine palindromes yet to come - 31/1/13 is the next one! Quote

Although, I'll run with any method as long as it produces an interesting date. Besides which it's more unusual to get date "anomalies" (for want of a better word), which involves the entire year, rather than just the last two digits of it. How's about 21-02-2012 works much better than 12-12-201212.12.12 is unique, and doesn't work with 2012But yes, yours is another palindrome. Quote
