There was a little bit of internet freakout over the date of the last day of 2023 being shown as …
12 31 23
So, 123 123. That is, unless you live outside the US where it would be shown as …
31 12 23
311 223 is definitely not as fun or interesting as 123 123.
However, I found today’s date on New Year’s Day much more interesting.
01 01 24
That’s shown the same way in the US and elsewhere in the world. Big deal, right? For math nerds, that’s where the fun begins.
01 + 01 = 2, and then 01 + 01 + 2 = 4.
It’s not quite a Fibonacci Sequence. I call it a Flaniganacci Sequence.
Even if you love math, I think you’ll agree that if this post is indicative of what my posts will be like in 2024, it’s going to be a long, slow, boring year.
