Two Things Happen Tonight at 8:02PM

[superbook]

1. As the clock ticks over from 8:01PM on Wednesday, February 20th, 2002, time will (for sixty seconds only) read in perfect symmetry. To be more precise: 20:02, 20/02, 2002. It is an event which has only ever happened once before, and is something which will never be repeated. The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days of the digital watch (or the 24-hour clock): 10:01AM, on January 10, 1001. And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will never happen again.

2. Xavier is going to start kicking Temple's ass. Xavier +3


At least I'm guaranteed to hit one of these two.

Scott, maybe we should call it a c-lock (cover both this way) :shrug:

 

[nhbear]

what about 21:12 on December 21st year 2112???

 

[buddy]

A third thing will also happen...

I will be making a second half wager at that time.

nhbear --

It would have to be the 21st month and 12th day to work for you in that example and there aren't 21 months.

Good luck on that second half wager Buddy. Which game?

 

[nhbear]

sb- your example uses the dd/mm of 20/02 so why doesn't 21/12 work as well?

nhbear--

You might be right, I'll have to ask boneinthehouse, he's the math teacher.

I just copied and pasted it from Yahoo. I guess if they mess up the hoops scores on occasion they can get their other facts wrong too.

Good catch.
