Okay this is weird… this calendar year we will have the following
dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, and finally 11/11/11…now figure this
one out, take the last 2 digits of the year you were born and add the
age you will be this year. ….every birthday will add up to 111!
OMG…that IS weird!
My dogs birthday is 11/11/11…but she’ll be 10. :lol:
Freaky!
do you have any similar math re: next year? (the doomsday year, according to Mayan prophecies).
C’mon Jan. We haven’t had 11/11/11 yet(not till next Nov.) so one of your numbers is off. I know. Picky, picky me. But, I find this interesting. I think you meant 1/11/11 ?
Debkcs has put out an interesting mathematical example. I love it!
Now if we extrapolate to next year the numbers will be 112. However, this year those numbers work only if one was born before 2000. From 2000 to 2010 the number comes up from 1 to 11. No hundreds I can see. Still in the 1’s. Which brings me to ask why?
Hey! I’m just an extrapolating knitter. What do I know? Let’s ask Debkcs! Hey Deb! You want to do some splainin’? By all means quote your source.

You have me spooked. IT did add up. OMG. You are a genius.
:?? No. I do mean 11/11/11. My comment wasn’t in the past tense.

[SIZE=2]=rand(200,99)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Press ‘Enter’ after wards… Wait 5 seconds! Foxy huh!?[/SIZE]
I don’t have Word…just Works and it doesn’t work on it. 
It is a little scary and reminds you of the power of computer code.
=rand(200,99) enter
In about 5 seconds 471 pages of text shows up. It appears to be the same group of paragraphs from the help files repeated again and again for 471 pages.
Sorry, I don’t have any more of these, but apparently there are sites that do. My math genius friend just feeds me enough easy ones to keep me interested and feeding him home made sourdough bread.
Deb, When you get more please share them again. It’s fun and nice to have something that stimulates the grey matter without costin a dime.

My husbands birthday was on 1/11/11…
Very freaky!
for a little algebra:
Let the year you were born be represented by 1900+X
so to figure your age this year your would subtract:
2011-(1900+X) which would equal (111-x) when you simplify
let that equal your age this year represented by a and you solve the equation : 111-x=a for a+x and it will equal 111…at least if you were born before 2000.
Now, the more fun part of this fact… Boring, Oregon will have a celebration of the elevens in november… just you see!!
Try the site called Archimedes Lab for strange word and number phenomena. And your calculation DOES work with my age and birthday. 1946 and I’ll be 65 this year.
Not scary. It’s programmed into Word, in case you need boilerplate. There’s also one for just one page of boilerplate. Just substitute a much smaller number between the (). When an instructor is teaching Word, s/he produces the boilerplate to illustrate various kinds of formatting.
that is so cool! thanks!
