MadisonMan said...: I think 3/14/15 would be pi day, not 3/14/16. There can be a special ceremony on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53.; 11/12/13, 10:54 AM

jr565 said...: Now before you say there is no 13th month, I'm going by my own calendar that I created which happens to have 13 months.
So, that day is really interesting if you use my calendar.; 11/12/13, 12:10 PM

I'm more partial to Pie Day. Math is fun and all, but pies are delicious.

Alexander said...: Please, we still have 11/29/2099, the last prime/prime/prime of the century. So the 'intersting' numbers will continue at least until the last month of the century.; 11/12/13, 1:02 PM

10/20/30?

Seems like there might be a lot more, unless you're willing to spend the time and effort defining the rules...; 11/12/13, 1:21 PM

Jim S. said...: The Europeans put the day first, then the month and year. So they'll have this glorious celebration next month on December 11.

How about 04/04/16? Or 10/20/30?; 11/12/13, 3:30 PM

Here's an interesting question: What is the last day of the earlier 21st century?

Would not that day be numerically interesting?; 11/12/13, 4:10 PM
