A little peculiar but interesting tidbit

[Ziffel]

Just heard an interesting thing:

A little past midnight tonight, at 2 minutes and 3 seconds past 1AM, the time and date will be 01,02,03,04,05,06. (1:02:03 AM on April 5th, 2006). And this won't happen again for a hundred years. Nevertheless, I don't think I'll set my alarm to wake myself up just to be awake during this second!

Very interesting thank you Ziffel

 

[Ziffel]

You betcha my friend! And I guess for you, 01,02,03,04,05,06 has already taken place, eh?

 

[MartyMuppets]

Probably so although since in Australia we put the number for the day ahead of the number for the month it wouldn't have been a perfect sequence as far as we down under were concerned

Hey check this out Martin! I just read this in an article which mentions the very point you made about putting the number of the day before the number of the month:

"For much of the world, especially Europe, this odd line-up of numbers doesn't really happen until next month. That's because many countries put the number of the day first, then the number of the month. So for many places, 01-02-03-04-05-06 happens at 1:02 a.m. May 4."

So May 4th will be the land down under's turn!

How about that? That's remarkable thank you Ziffel
