It's Thursday!

Well, I am! :) I like cool dates like March 14th -> 3.14 the Pie day. May the 4th be with you. Mind you, my birthday is May 05 so that might have something to do with it... I also enjoyed Dec 31st last year -> 123123 :) July 7th in 2007 was a wedding day for many folks -> 07.07.07.

Hi @Kristján Geir Mathiesen! Great question and I saw a similar post by @Andy Gladstone today. I'm not much of a numbers person as math and I do not get along very well. Actually, we hate each other! But, I did read the below fun fact recently and my brother got married on Pie day and they had Pie instead of cake! It was so fun! 

Fun Fact: If you write your date in the MM/DD/YY format, the last sequential date of the century was December 13, 2014 or 12/13/14. The next such alignment of digits in a date will happen 89 years later, on January 2, 2103 or 01/02/03.

In 1999, we got 3 new additions to our family. The first was born on 5/5/99, the second on 7/8/99, and we hoped the third, expected in October, might be 10/10/99. Alas, it was not meant to be—babies come when they come. 👼

I love prime numbers, for instance, 31/11/2017 all numbers are prime, likewise this format: 31/11/19, 19/11/23

How about Fibonacci numbers? 08/13/21

I like the number 27 (for no apparent reason), and when it's the 27th of the month, I always recognize it with "Hey, that's my favorite day." Usually, it's a day like any other, but giving it a little special meaning feels nice.

I love that idea, @Teodora V _Fun Inc_  What a cool concept. I think I might pick a favorite day of the month too :) I am born on the 5th, maybe that'll be my day.

Palindrome date: 10th October 2001 = 10 - 11 - 01

or could even be looked at as Binary 101101

I enjoy seeing sequential numbers on the clock.  My favorite time of day is 12:34am/pm.  

It never fails that I always happen to glance at the clock right at that time :)

I know it's kind of superstition, but I often notice the time when it's 4:44 p.m., and in my culture, the number 4 is associated with death....

This year was leap year.  It is a great date since it only comes around every four years.

I am totally a numbers nerd. Although we always called ourselfs Mathies. My degree is in Mathematics and number theory, but TBH, I took the course in the university because it had more electives then any other program so I could take everything else I was interested in. 

Love math.
