[sharon]

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.

This will never happen again.

It will happen again in a thousand years from now and every thousand years after that

<> Are you sure of that?

Well, doc proved me wrong...but oh well, I thought it was interesting and just wanted to share it...

[jazzman]

Come to think of it I guess it would happen every hundred years. Since I didn't say "only" my first post was technically correct.

A hundred years from May 6, 2007, the date will be 05-31-07, due to an imperfect calendar. Roughly 25 extra days (leap years) occour per century.

5-6-2107 will fall 25 days short of 100 years (3650 days) from 5-6-2007.

You can do the math for an entire millenium.

It will happen again approximately 1 day and 1 month after you have stated on the 5th of June in the UK when it will be 02:03;04 05/06/07

Technically you are correct but the sequence of numbers such as you posted occur approximately every hundred years. Which was the point I was making.

02:03:04 05/06/07 (2007)
02:03:04 05/06/07 (2107)
02:03:04 05/06/07 (2207)
...
...
02:03:04 05/06/07 (9907)
02:03:04 05/06/07 (10007)
etc..

[amatx]

Technically, I was not correct.

3650 days is closer to 10 years than 100 years.
I'm surprised that you didn't catch that.

100 years would be 36525 days, give or take a free Saturday.

Your point is, of course, correct.
I'm just waiting to hear from Sharon where the party is going to be on May 6.
