I looked up my install date for windows and found something cool.

2004-09-29, 19:39:59

It may look ordinary at first glance bare with me.

First, forget about 2004. Now, look at the last number in every group of two... 9. Now look at the first number in the groups of two, the differens between them is... 2. What are the odds of this?

I'm sure we all could find relationships in our windows install dates. Now what would have been amazing if it was a palindrome.

Sure, you can find relationships in almost everything if you look hard enough. But please do go on and add your install date and give a relationship as simple as this and we will see. biggrin.gif

Now I will have reinstall windows until I get a palindrome as date. wink2.gif

ignoring the 2005, double the 4 you get 8, add all the 1's up and you get 3, how many 8's are there are? 3. and of course, the 2 remaining 0's give you chance to mutliply the 4, by 2 to get 8. need I go on. laugh.gif tongue.gif

I would say comparable to the odds that people who have the time finding out these things, don't have a girlfriend at that time tongue.gif

Well, I like X-files but I haven't watched it for quite some time. The reason I started this thread was because I was bored at the moment, it's as simple as that. biggrin.gif It did get some replies though, so I don't feel like I have disrupted the forum too much. wink2.gif

9 Days, 10 Hours, 11 Minutes, 12 Seconds
