PERFECT PALINDROMIC DATE

PERFECT PALINDROMIC DATE

 

        This day, February 2, 2020, or otherwise written as 02-02-2020, is a perfect palindromic date, that is having eight charaters instead of 7 with four 2’s and four zeroes. It is also the only two-number perfect palindromic date since December 21, 1221, which is about 800 years ago.

This The National Enquirer

was issued on October 2, 2001,

a perfect palindromic date,

the first in the 21st century.

        Before the 21st century, the last time it occurred was on December 31, 1321 (12-31-1321). It took 679 years and 9 months before another perfect configuration became a reality, on October 2, 2001 (10-02-2001), the first occurrence in the 21st century. It happened again twice, before today, on January 2, 2010 (01-02-2010) and on November 2, 2011 (11-02-2011).

        The next time it will occur is next year, on December 2, 2021 (12-02-2021). Then it would take nearly 80 years before another occurrence, on October 21, 2101.
