Re: [time-nuts] Yesterday was the first palindromic date for 909 years
At the time, the year would have been written as MCXI, so no palindrome would have been possible! 😉 Bill From: time-nuts on behalf of Bill Metzenthen Sent: Wednesday, February 5, 2020 1:17 AM To: time-nuts@lists.febo.com Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Yesterday was the first palindromic date for 909 years On 4/2/20 1:59 am, shouldbe q931 wrote: > On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at 2:05 PM wrote: >> 2021-12-02 >> 12-02-2021 >> >> I'm afraid the UK is out of that one though and any 20xx year.

If my quick check is correct, there are 29 palandromic dates in "UK" format for 20xx years, but only 12 "US" dates. It does "suck" in the 22xx years, when there are 12 more "US" palandromic dates but of course no "UK" ones. It then "sucks" for both formats until 10-03-3001 when the next "UK" one occurs.
