12-12-12 - Another pseudo-mathematical date

12-12-12

If one skips the century nominator (whether at the beginning or the end), then one ends up with a numerically repetitive date - theoretically not happening again until New Year's Day on 2101, (ie 1/1/1).

This meant that many people decided to get married on this date, even down to the time (12:12), so that they  could remember their wedding anniversary.
