Palindrome days, according to Aziz S. Inan, an electrical engineering professor at the University of Portland, occur exclusively in the first few centuries of each millennium in the mm-dd-yy British format. ‘In the mm-dd-yyyy format, the first of 36 Palindrome Days in the current millennium (January 1, 2001, to December 31, 3000) was October 2, 2001 (10-02-2001) and the last such day will be September 22, 2290 (09-22-2290)’, he noted.
According to him, today’s date is a ‘ubiquitous palindrome date’ since it is a palindrome regardless of the date system. The date appears to be 22-2-22 in the short-hand British format and it seems to be 2-22-22 in the short hand US format.
