No big deal. 13-13-13 would be much worse-worse-worse, especially if it falls on a Friday-Friday-Friday...

(edit: for the record, the thread title is "three dozen", let's see how long it lasts, I have few shameful ideas how to change it, but fortunately no rights... :P)

(edit2: grrr, the edit destroys all the joke... anyhow, to wash my hands: 1212121 is prime...)

(I still see it "12-12-13 00:12", hehe, I am 12 hours faster then you. And it did not occur to me 12 hours ago that I could try for my local time).

For those that have access to "live" data that is timestamped what is the closest to 6 12s you can find? Just display the timestamp. I trust you!

Extra points if the 12s extend into fractions of a second

The closest I found so far was: 12/12/12 12:12:12.655112 (ends in 12)
Or. .372328. Only .24 seconds out

Unfortunately I was on a train to London at that time. If I'd been at home I would undoubtedly have tried for it.
