Palindrome Day
All NEW! 22nd February 2022 is Palindrome Day - or Twosday - in the UK and other parts of the world that write the date in the same format, and that means it is a great excuse to have some fun with the dates involved, learn about other palindrome days this century, and perhaps spend some time learning about palindromes too!
What is Palindrome Day?
A palindrome day or palindrome date is any date that can be written in numbers that read the same either backwards or forwards. Here are some examples:
- 22.02.2022
- 26.02.2062
- 29.02.2092
Different Date Formats Make a Difference!
In the UK and many other parts of the world, dates are written day-month-year.
In America, dates are written month-day-year.
That means that palindrome days are different in the UK and US!
Fun Fact: Can you believe that the next time the UK and the US share a palindrome date it will be 3rd March 3030? That will be written 03.03.3030 in the UK, and 03.03.3030 in the US too!
