Calendar Slot Machine...


Calendar Slot Machine has been hot in recent years: Three reels have locked on 01-01-01, 02-02-02, 03-03-03, 04-04-04, 05-05-05, 06-06-06, 07-07-07, 08-08-08, 09-09-09, 10-10-10, 11-11-11. Next hit? Year away, in December 12, 2012 (12-12-12).

Then what? Forget it. Bandit's going cold. Pay Window will be stingy. Lady Luck's going on vacation. Next hit will be cashed by our children's children and their children, etc, in the Year of Our Lord January 1, 3001 (01-01-01). Skeeter wept.

01-01-01?

Maths is obviously not your forte.

Thanks, Jim. You're correct. Quite a difference between a hundred and a thousand.

Certainly too much to chalk up as a typo or to ascribe to rounding. GB also wept.

Please note that your correction is also incorrect. We've already done 2001, ten years ago. I'm going to stop now anyway, before I get accused of being a pedant.

Merci, Jim. No excuse. Maybe I should call on your cell next time I attempt any general

forum stuff involving math. Nah, my New England accent might also go down sideways.

Astute observation, Jim. Should have known personal financial management would also be one of your areas of exceptional savvy. Perhaps 'more expensive' but then, again, knowing I've been given the option doesn't necessarily suggest I must use it...
at least not until the 21st Century rolls around.

You should have stopped while you were not ahead, but maybe not too far behind.

The 21st century is already here, for over 10 and a half years now.
