Palindrome dates are rare
According to Aziz S. Inan , a professor at the University of Portland , depending on date formats , palindromic dates can be rare. He has calculated that in the mm-dd-yyyy format, Palindrome Days tend to occur only in the first few centuries of each millennium (1000 years).
According to Inan , there are 12 Palindrome Days in the 21st century in the mm-dd-yyyy format. The first one was on October 2, 2001 (10-02-2001) and the last one will be on September 2, 2090 (09-02-2090).
In the dd-mm-yyyy format, there are 29 Palindrome Days in the current century. The first was 10 February 2001 (10-02-2001). The last is a special one, a leap day: 29 February 2092 (29-02-2092) will be the last Palindrome Day of the 21st century.
According to Hugo Dixon , a business journalist, “The beauty of these numbers is in the eye of the beholder. There can be no consensus over what constitutes a date that has numerological significance .”
