couw Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 actually, it will happen just under a month from then in all countries using a sensible calendar that puts the day before the month. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 actually, it will happen just under a month from then in all countries using a sensible calendar that puts the day before the month. Yeah, our date format might not make sense, but you guys use commas where decimal points should be, so that makes us even! Quote

Ted O'Reilly Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Posted April 3, 2006 It's just a number sequence I was showing a pre-schooler who is learning about clocks and calendars. Personally, I like the scientific method, for clarity. The date in question would be 2006.04.05, 01:02:03. It wouldn't happen twice that day, as twelve hours later it would be 13:02:03. Quote

GregK Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 actually, it will happen just under a month from then in all countries using a sensible calendar that puts the day before the month. The American way is very sensible. Not our fault other places do it the wrong way Quote
