'Rarest of palindromes'
Finally, the Sunday Times suggests numerologists, statisticians and anyone else beguiled by "oddball integers" will want to celebrate Sunday's date.
It points out that 2 February 2020 - when set out in numbers - becomes the rarest of palindromes, whether the day or month is written first. For instance, 02/02/2020 reads the same forwards and backwards. And - it says - there won't be another like it until 12/12/2121.

Today’s Date Is A Palindrome And An Ambigram

<p>February 12, 2021. A fairly ordinary date when the month is written out, but turn it all into numbers and it becomes something much more special. Okay, ‘much more special’ might be pushing it a little, but noteworthy dates only come along once in a while, so we may as well make the most of...
