When to retire....
 
You choose retirement dates that are fully prime ... where I define "fully prime" for my purposes as:
- YYYY is prime
- MM is prime
- DD is prime
- MMDD is prime
- YYYYMMDD is prime

These are the only dates in the 21st century.
There are more if you choose to allow a single digit month and/or day.
I have my eyes on the next one coming up.

20291123[/QUOTE]I had been looking for a date, thanks. This would allow me to retire at ~90-95% pay.

I'll have to go for 2039 or 2053...

Anyone care to argue with this?
What about odd perfect numbers?

PS Why are there no uninteresting numbers?

There is an infinity of uninteresting numbers but as soon as you examine them they become interesting. For their continued existence it is imperative we don't discuss this anymore.

Alternatively: If there is not an infinity of uninteresting numbers, then there is a largest uninteresting number. But that's interesting! A contradiction! (Apply the argument for the next largest uninteresting number, and so by induction there are no uninteresting numbers.)

Also, sweet shirt!

Or this one:

Odometer is largest MP I can display right now.
Trip-O is the smallest

Dubslow 2012-01-26 18:48

Lol Canadian speedometers :)
Also way to 4-5 year old quote.
And do you just have a list and wait for each MP to come around on the odometer?

The list is readily available but I have missed a few.
I plan on trading in this car though before I get to the next one.

I guess on my new car I can start back at 2???
