+lodgebarn Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 We don't have one of those in our country , more like 13/12/14. Quote Link to comment
+dukeofurl01 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 However you had a 13/12/11 and a 10/11/12 and all the other stuff that ended in 0 through 12. Quote Link to comment

Mr.Yuck Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 We don't have one of those in our country , more like 13/12/14. It's an American Company. Besides, they already gave you guys (Europe) Giga events; which no one here asked for, or even contemplated the concept. Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Is there going to be a Souvenir graphic for a 12/13/14 event? I think there should be... There wasn't one for 10/11/12 or 11/12/13, so I wouldn't expect there to be one for 12/13/14. Anyway, if there was going to be one, TPTB would have made sure we'd know about it by now. Heck, the CITO 2015 souvenir, which isn't coming until April, was announced way back in September! Quote Link to comment

He-he-he-he-he (Peter Griffin laugh), Giga Events. If there were a 12/13/14 Souvie, it would surely have been announced by now, and it's not going to happen.

No, but the fact is, almost every other country expressed dates as Day/Month/Year, and 12/13/14 would not be a valid date outside the U.S. Quote Link to comment

+GrateBear Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hmm, this is the last chance for a month/day/year until 01/02/3003! I doubt many of us will be around to see that Quote Link to comment

He did skip over 900 years. As for advances in health care, no need. Where's the thread where someone wants to start a service to allow people to log caches after they're dead? Quote Link to comment
+GeoLog81 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 What about 13/14/15? There's probably some calendar having 14 months as well... Quote Link to comment

I doubt many of us will be around to see that That's what I've noted on the page for the 12-13-14-15-16 event I am holding on the 13th. Do you like the occurrences of sequential dates? If so, you're in luck. There will only be one more occurrence of a sequential date this century, and it occurs this year on Saturday December 13th, 2014. To celebrate the last time this will occur this century, and for many us, our lifetime, come out for a brief gathering with your fellow geocachers. Quote Link to comment

I felt there was a flaw in my thinking but could not come up with it. Quote Link to comment
+and1969 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) No, but the fact is, almost every other country expressed dates as Day/Month/Year, and 12/13/14 would not be a valid date outside the U.S. And now we see the folly of using the wrong ordering. The DMY and MDY date formats are no longer totally dominant. Both are based on the way dates were read out or written - despite which, the US National Day is more commonly called "The Fourth of July" than "July [the] Fourth". I would hope that by the turn of the next century we will all be writing dates as year/month/day. Already, this is the way dates are written in China, Japan, Korea, Hungary, Sweden, Lithuania, South Africa and Canada (Canada still uses MDY and DMY, but the confusion has led to a desire for standardisation). I urge GS to consider a souvenir for 2020-02-02 which is a nice palindromic date, which many of us will be in a position to go for, rather than telling our kids to tell their kids to go for the 01/02/03 souvenir . 2021-12-02 would be the logical follow-up. Some lateral thinking will be needed in the intervening 79 years... Edited December 6, 2014 by and1969 Quote Link to comment

There might very well be a 01/01/01 souvenir, which comes 2 years earlier than 01/02/03 and more importantly presents no confusion regarding the date.
