"Mathemagician" excited by today's odd date
LONDON (AFP) – Notice anything exceptional about today's date? It's July 5, 2009 (05/07/09) -- and three consecutive odd numbers make up the date only five times in a century.
This nugget is pointed out by Californian high school maths teacher Ron Gordon, a self-confessed "mathemagician".
"This really is a day to celebrate. OK, it's true there will be another one in two years' time on September 7, 2011 (07/09/11), and one on November 9, 2013 (09/11/13) but then it won't happen again for 92 years. And I sure won't be around to see it."
