Mathematicians were celebrating a rare numerical phenomenon today when the time and date read 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.The event, known as Sequential Day, occurred at 12.34pm and 56.7 seconds while the date completed the pattern with 8.9.10.

Just_A_Guy Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) I was confused, until I realized that a) the article was dated "8 September", and b) those pesky Europeans fouled up the way we all write dates. Here in the US of A, this would have been on August 9. Edited September 10, 2010 by Just_A_Guy Just a spelling error, but a rather embarassing one!

Saguaro Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 You're all a couple of days late, 8.9.10 means September 8 in Europe where the article originated. If you interpreted it as August 9 you're more than a month late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talisyn Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Sorry i missed the date today. I'm still foggy from lack of sleep the past few weeks. Gwendolyn still thinks day is night and night is day. We still have 2067 though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, being a bit pedantic here, but it isn't just Europe that has their date format as dd/mm/yyyy. The vast majority of the world does, with only America and a tiny handful of other countries that use mm/dd/yyyy. Besides, the former does seem far more logical .

Mahone Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 On principle, I resist all forms of cultural imperialism except American cultural imperialism. And don't get me started about the metric system. Lol. I was tasked with sorting out my grandmothers pool a couple of weeks back. The person who usually deals with it was away, and the water was going green with algae. It needed to be bombed with chlorine. I don't remember exact measurements now, but in short I needed to add X litres of liquid chlorine to the pool. Unfortunately, the large bottle of chlorine I had, listed the total volume in gallons. Also unfortunately, there were no details of the origin of the bottle, this was important as some of our equipment originates from the USA, and some from within the UK. My first question was "does it mean US gallons or imperial gallons?"Gah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceofLight2000 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 What does 2067 have anything to do with anything? Shouldn't this happen every 100 years? Maybe it's just a different sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
