Hey fello Win32:GUIers
You may have heard in the media (internet, news, etc.) recently that a
date/time palindrome would occur on Feb 20, 2002 at 8:02pm. Written in DDMM
YYYY HHMM format as 2002 2002 2002 , reading the same forwards and backwards.
From what I heard, this was the last time this would occur in history due to
the 24 hour clock limitation. I also heard that the last time this occured was
on Jan 10, 1001 at 10:01. Written in DDMM YYYY HHMM format as 1001 1001 1001.
But after some calculating of my own on the subject, I found the following to
be the case:
DDMM YYYY HHMM
0110 0110 0110 October 01, 0110 at 1:10
891 years pass till
1001 1001 1001 January 10, 1001 at 10:01
110 years pass till
1111 1111 1111 November 11, 1111 at 11:11
891 years pass till
2002 2002 2002 February 02, 2002 at 20:02
recently reported as
last date/time
palindrome to be seen
in history
110 years pass till
2112 2112 2112 December 21, 2112 at 21:12
actual last date/time
palindrome
891 years pass till
3003 3003 ???? 24 hour clock limitation
110 years pass till
3113 3113 ???? 24 hour clock limitation
I assume 2112 2112 2112 is a palindrome since it reads same both frontwards and
backwards?
What do you guys and gals think? Is it?
