10 December 2013 :: It is the last date three consecutive numbers will line up for 90 years, giving mathematicians and number fans a chance to celebrate.
11/12/13 has become more than a cool sequential calendar date. Apparently it’s the most romantic day of the year.
Dr. Sunil Burman [ Jyotish Shastri, from Ranchi, Jharkhand ] says that “The sum of 11, 12, and 13 is 9 & Number 9 is siginificance of Mars”.
The number 9 is also considered to be ‘lucky’ in the Chinese culture as it means long lasting.
We had already celebrated Sequential dates 01.02.03, 02.03.04, 03.04.05, 04.05.06, 05.06.07, 06.07.08, 07.08.09, 08.09.10, 09.10.11, 10.11.12.
Last month, mathematicians celebrated ‘Odd Day’ on November 9 (9/11/13) a phenomenon which only happens five times every 100 years.
The only other sequential date still to come this century — at least in the American-style of putting the month before the day — will be next year, on 12/13/14.
After that, it’ll be around another 90 years before the next sequential date, in 2103, with 01/02/03.
