There was an Archbishop called Tate
Who dined with a friend at 8.08
It’s sad to relate
I’m unable to state
What Tate’s tete-a-tete ate at 8.08
:suicide:

And the new £20 note has been released today as well!

My daughter was born New years Day, 01,01,2020

My granddaughter was born 03/03/2003. Easy to remember especially as she started making her appearance on the front seat of my car on the way to the BRI maternity wing.
Luckily I was in a different hospital at the time so so at least my car was clean when I came out the following day.

I started a new job on 9-9-81 in a new location involving scientific research. My two new colleagues, both Norwegians and mathematicians, remarked on the mathematical structure of the date.
If you look up you will find there was also a famous football match played on that date in which 'Maggie Thatcher's boys took a hell of a beating.........'
On 10-9-81 two bleary eyed gloating Norwegians discovered their new colleague identified as Welsh ;)

I saw that game in the gasworks at Workington. We were working there and kipped in the office overnight. Crap in so many ways.

Dutch.
If you're still in touch with your Norwegian mates, chuck this date problem at them:
Why does Halloween=Christmas Day?
Possibly THE most scientifically highbrow puzzle of all time.
And the most highbrow scientific joke of all time:
Werner Heisenberg was driving down the motorway when he got stopped for speeding. Traffic cop said to him "Did you notice exactly how fast you were going there sir?" Heisenberg said, "I've absolutely no idea but I know exactly where I was."

An equation in numbers and bases:
Take the month as an octal number to give the base for the day number.
So 31-10 gives base 8 for the 31 which gives the day number answer as 25 base 10.
Similarly for 25-12 the octal number 12 gives base 10 for the day number 25.
So both 31-10 and 25-12 work out at 25 decimal.
Think it was on only connect not so long ago.
Love the Heisenberg line :lol:
One of the Norwegians left in the mid 1980's and the other became my closest colleague over 30 years until we retired on the same day. Sadly he died just a couple of years after retiring.

Was it on Only Connect? I missed that.
31_oct = 25_dec. My kids love that one.

Answer edited - when I thought about it, it was a bit more complicated than I first thought, and then you simplified it again :chair: I think the only connect question had a couple of others, all in numbers, so I think my explanation was closer to the actual rule rather than using the text oct/dec.
I am in awe of those Only Connect teams.
