Hey fello Win32:GUIers=20 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=20 891 years pass till 3003 3003 ???? 24 hour clock limitation 110 years pass till 3113 3113 ???? 24 hour clock limitation=20 I assume 2112 2112 2112 is a palindrome since it reads same both frontwards= and backwards? =20 What do you guys and gals think?
