Unique Time/Date coming up

[JAE]

For those of you engineers who get excited about stars aligning in the heavens, or pencils lined up in your pocket in order of their lead mm size.....

[blue]At three minutes and four seconds after 2 AM on the 6th of May this year, the time and date will be

02:03:04 05/06/07[/blue]


This will never happen again.

Not even in 2107, 2207, etc.? Happens every century.

...hey...you're right. I guess I need to reply to the guy that sent this to me.

 

[zdas04]

Oh yeah, the European day/month/year format will hit this "milestone" on the fifth of June.

And of course if you spell out 2007 it doesn't work anyway.

I thought that
01:02:03 04/05/06 was more memorable.

Well, you could still get 01:02:03.04 05/06/07, which is about an hour earlier than the OP's datetime.

This Thursday is also pretty unique (aren't they all)

03/05/07 - three sequential primes!

and prime numbers are lucky numbers, Thursday could be very special.

... prime numbers are lucky numbers ...

Explain Friday the 13th just gone: we lost the entire 11kV distribution on half of our plant that day! (Major substation fault)

So, it appears to be legit.

I think we should all meet up as Eng-Tips members and have a beer when it rolls over.

 

[MRM]

Eng Tips cruise!...beer or rum-based cocktails-your choice.

 

[JAE]

UcfSE - I think you live way too far from me - but the idea sounds great.

Last time I was in your neck of the woods, I was watching Tiger sink a 40 ft. put.

 

[UcfSE]

Let me know next time you're in the neighborhood. It's a shame some of us live so far from others.

what about 03:04:05 06/07/08 on June 7, 2008?

News says a lot of weddings are planned for 07/07/07.
Wonder if any at 07:07:07?

 

[Jordonlaw]

We have a big party planned for 7/7/7 (was going to be last year but 6/6/6 was taken). Anyway at 07:7:7 it will be 7*6 or 42, the answer to the ultimate question of life (Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy). Something big will happen !
