Time to get thinking: Notice something about today's date? Think laterally.

[TripleJ]

There is something about todays date that doesn't happen too often. Can you figure out what it is? Throw some ideas in here and I might give a clue or two.

[Viper0329]

[MrDingleDangle]

In jamaica 8-10-2001 means pass the ghandja...hell everyday in jamaica means pass the ghandja

 

[NivekC4]

there's a zero in each? 08/10/01?

<< uhh...the date matches the month? >>



Um it's 8/10, not 10/10.

Am I missing something?

Maybe the 10-01 part?

I have no clue what it could be, but I got one for you TripleJ (although I'm sure most people already know this).

Something very unusual happened on May the 6th, 1978 at 12:34... what was it???

 

[Viper0329]

[FelixDeCat]

that one is much easier. i have no clue what todays date means

 

[TripleJ]

Lord Jezo was sooooo close from writing it for all to see!

 

[Shy]

10-10-220? 99 cents for all calls up to 20 minutes?

 

[thEnEuRoMancER]

1.0 x (2 + 8) = 10.00

 

[MrDingleDangle]

<< 1.0 x (2 + 8) = 10.00 >>



yeah and 8+2+10+1 = 21

so?

 

[somethingwitty]

<< There is something about todays date that doesn't happen too often >>



give us a clue-how often does it happen, say, per year?

 

[Viper0329]

Im still stumped

 

[LordJezo]

<< Lord Jezo was sooooo close from writing it for all to see! >>



I was? Hmm.. I feel special now! Too bad I have no idea what it was that I was close to....

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

My silly guess would be 8-10-01 sounds like &quot;aten one&quot; (though not such good English lol).

 

[Scrapster]

Yes, 08-10-2001 only occurs once in time.

 

[LordJezo]

<< Yes, 08-10-2001 only occurs once in time. >>



Well.. so did yesterday..

 

[Radiohead]

I would like to use a lifeline please?

 

[KiltedFool]

Hmm..

When the date is written 10-8-01, it's symmetric, i.e. a palindrome, reads the same front and back, though it's not all that uncommon. Depending on what format of writing the date you use, it comes up 9 times this year if you use dd/mm/yy, and comes up 9 times if you use mm/dd/yy in October.

Though that may not be it. Or you can also say the date is symmetric on a line drawn horizontally through the middle of it.
