The next 10 days have a little treat in store.
It's Palindrome Week, a week – well, 10 days – when each date can be read the same backward and forward.
Palindrome Week is unique to the few countries, such as the USA, that write dates in the month-day-year format (9/10/19). September's series of palindromes only work if the date is written with the last two digits of the year and no zero before the month — 09/10/2019 isn't a palindrome, for example.
Because much of the world formats dates as day-month-year, the mathematical oddity is mostly noted in the U.S.
...
as the years rolled by...it'S always BEEn about the numbers. Karaoke was the first clue we were given. we may need help from a few friends along the way.
