Question about the date 12/13/14.
Statement of problem is attached.
ooooh fun one well lets see
there will be no more
let me ask you this what will happen next year? 13/14/15?
well there is no month 13 what about 14/15/16
There is an integer answer here and it is not zero.
The 12/13/14 represents Month/Date/Year.
@Directrix can you write the date that will work for NEXT YEAR
when the date is 15?
1 2 3 2 3 4 3 4 5 4 5 6 5 6 7 6 7 8 7 8 9 8 9 10 9 10 11 10 11 12 11 12 13 12 13 14 only :) since any extra year would be 2 digits number such that year-2 >12 which is more than numbers of months
@can you write the date that will work for NEXT YEAR Is there one in 2015 that lies in the span of 2000 - 2099? If so, then yes.
\[\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}\hline1 & 2 & 3\\2 & 3 & 4\\3 & 4 & 5\\4 & 5 & 6\\5 & 6 & 7\\6 & 7 & 8\\7 & 8 & 9\\8 & 9 & 10\\9 & 10 & 11\\10 & 11 & 12\\11 & 12 & 13\\12 & 13 & 14\\\hline\end{array}\]
The longest a month can go is 31 days, so any year past 2031 will not have this pattern
eh , what about months :|
The main reason is that months have either 28,29,30, or 31 days
@Miracrown you are forgetting that months can only go up to 12.....
what happens then
Yep, that also restricts it
that is not even a problem mira :-| its just a stupid question to say the day after tomorrow is special
?
did i miss something?
So if we tried a date like: 12/32/33 that would not make any sense So I think that 12/13/14 is the last type of pattern this century
Now we can look for the other ones before that 1/2/03 Does that count or does the zero wreck the pattern?
It is a matter of opinion I suppose. So you could present both types
So the answer is either 12 or 5 depending on whether the zero wrecks the pattern
@Miracrown So, after this Saturday, it will be January 2, 2103 before this happens again?
Yep, I think so
yes
Thanks to all posters in thread.
