12 December 2012 date query
« on: December 13, 2012, 05:03:23 AM »
Am I right in thinking that yesterdays date will be the last time that a date "aligns"  numerically using  day - month - year  or month - day - year or year - month - day  regardless of how the day, month and year is  displayed in various countries?

12-12-12

...but, that doesn't have nearly the ambiguity of three, two-digit values.

Am I right in thinking that yesterdays date will be the last time that a date "aligns"  numerically using  day - month - year  or month - day - year or year - month - day  regardless of how the day, month and year is  displayed in various countries?

12-12-12



There are 12 years in every century that will have dates as such

01-01-01 the next time you will see that will be in 01-01-2101 and once each year till we see 12-12-12 again in  (12-12-2112)

Most people will live to see this series of dates only once in their lifetime.
