It'll Never Happen Again,,,,

[SlowlySinking]

Kind of neat to think about, but I'll probably sleep right through it!!!!!<br /><br />On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 a.m., the time and date will be <br /><br />01:02:03 04/05/06<br /><br />That won't ever happen again. I knew you'd want to know this.

Never is a looooooong time, SS. In this case it will be about 12 hours.<br /><br />It will happen twice on 4/5/2006, twice again on 4/5/3006, and so forth.

You don't have to wait until 3006. It'll happen again in 2106.

I think we have now defined never as 4 times every 100 years . . .

Re: It'll Never Happen Again,,,,

Sorry guys, the 06 stands for 2006 which will never happen again. I agree, the time portion <br />re-ccurs every 12 hours, the 04/05 every year but <br />01:02:03 04/05/06 as a time and date is gone forever.

Yeah its gone forever for 2006, but so is any time and date combo if you are being year specific. Either way ya cut it, the notation will be back.

Re: It'll Never Happen Again,,,,

Let me get this straight SS. There is a law that says we cannot use "06" to signify 2106? 2206? 2306? 1906? That honkin', flippin' Bush messed me up again!!!! <br /><br />To be fair to Bush, maybe it's the BFD . . . Bureau of Formatting Dates

Well George Norey (sp) on coast to coast am tried to make a big deal of this with Glynis McCants the "numbers lady" and she pretty much poo pooed him.<br />SO they went to another topic and I went to bed!

Re: It'll Never Happen Again,,,,

Amen, this wasn't supposed to be a riddle or challenge, just an interesting arrangement of numbers. Oh well, onward and upward.

No good deed goes unpunished. You will know better the next time a nice thought occurs and save your time.

I told ya I like it. I was just thinking of other combinations and came up with the 89 theory. I was kinda upset that I didn't take notice of when the one you posted actually happened. I planned to make a remark about it when it did but forgot too.
