Ummmmmmmm

unless i am missing something here, this is NOT palindromic.

BAckwards reading of of Sundays date actually is:

02022020

Forward or normal date is: 02022020

Unless you have dyslexia one can see that the numerals are not in the same rythmic order of a palindrome and not the same.

A better example is the one from November 11, 1111

This would read: 11111111

backwards it reads: 1111111

ALL the numerals are in the same place frontwards and backwards.

March 3, 3030 is NOT a palindrome.

03/03/3030 forward

BAckward is 03033030

True, the digits are all the same but they are not readable in the exact order front and back wards.


Yes, I am picky. But this is really a bad example.

Theonly true one I see is the Novembaer 11, 1111 date...

YMMV

micro...

PS.

Happy LORD'S DAY to you all.
WE SHOULD PRAISE and THANK HIM for HIS goodness and Kindness and MERCY to US ALL.

We really are undeserving....

Sunday's date is written the same backward and forward — for everyone in the world — which hasn't happened in 900 years

by Daniel Payne

Sunday, February 2, marks a unique calendar date, as it forms a palindromic day — one that is written the same both backward and forward.

But this Sunday is more special than post palindromic days.

In this case, the date rendered as it normally is in the United States — as month/day/year — is identical read both normally and reversed: 02/02/2020. However, in the numerous countries that follow a day/month/year format, the date is still the same either way. And in the many Asian countries that place the year first, it is still identical backward and forward.

So whether you're in Europe, Asia, or the U.S., February the 2nd is a very special palindromic day. And extremely rare:

• The previous eight-digit palindrome like this was 909 years ago, on November 11, 1111.
• The next one will be December 12, 2121, 101 years from now.
• After that it'll be another 909 years until the next eight-digit palindrome, on March 3, 3030.
• After the 3030 palindrome, people will have to wait another 1,010 years, until April 4, 4040, to be treated to the rare occasion again.

Sunday also happens to be Super Bowl Sunday as well as Groundhog Day.
