Yes, sorry - I think that's the date of issue of the banknote!
Good start...

For those who don't find J in itself enough of a challenge, here's
a link to what are said to be very difficult problems put up today by
the UK's "Government Communication HQ" in honour of our new
£50 note which commemorates the great mathematician and
pioneer of computing, Alan Turing, on his birthday, I believe:
https://www.gchq.gov.uk/information/turing-challenge
An article in today's London Times reports that five or so Times staff
managed to solve the challenge. Not just any old staff, though, but
the brainy types compiling and/or editing the Times Crossword, the
Listener Crossword and so on.
I gather a lot of lateral thinking is called for. GCHQ are said to use this
sort of thing to help them recruit the brightest talent for decoding,
decrypting and all that stuff.
Good Luck if you try,
Cheers,
Mike
