Once in a hundred years, coming up Wednesday

Post by netmaestro »

On Wednesday at three seconds after 1:02 in the AM, the time will be: 01:02:03/04/05/06 ! Won't happen again for a hundred years.

Not everywhere it won't. Here in Oz it'll be 01:02:03/05/04/06. :twisted:

Secondly, it's not a once-per-hundred years thing; for example a similar
time/date is 02:03:04/05/06/07, which occurs just next year.

And 08:12:45/05/08/06 only occurs once in the history of the universe.

Actually, you posted the above on April 3, 2006 -- but the exact thing above
will happen before 100 years... in fact only a month later (in May) if you use
the Australian date format. ;)

Wrong. What about the years 2106, 2206, 2306, 2406, ... ?

You laugh! but many forum admins decide to simply comment down a line or two at the forums viewtopic and such (including the memberlist link, etc) just to avoid this kind of post-count fever some people seems to catch :twisted: - Although some other forums are setup to give you access wether you have 200 posts or 400 to certain areas.. (meh).
