Recently realized that the only good candidate for a date marked in mm/dd/yy form to resemble the digits of e would be on the 7th of February in 2018 (2/7/18). So since that'll be the most logical day to celebrate this constant, how would one go about celebrating e day in a pi day sort of fashion? Only eating foods that start with e? Opening a Roth IRA?

Why not the 27/1/2082 ?
>>8175843
or the 2nd of July 2018
2/7/18
>>8175843
>mm/dd/yy form
Why? dd/mm/yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd, any other order is illogical.
>>8175852
Because that's the arbitrary form that my country decides to list dates in. That's not really the point though, just wondering what an e day celebration might look like.

>Why? dd/mm/yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd, any other order is illogical.
dd/mm/yyyy is nearly as wrong as mm/dd/yyyy.
At least the American system is right as long as you leave the year off (mm/dd).

>dd/mm/yyyy is nearly as wrong as mm/dd/yyyy.
No, it's not. I prefer yyyy/mm/dd but at least there is some semblance of logic in reverse order as opposed to complete lack of logic in mixed order. I don't see how "at least it's in order if you chop part off" matters.
>>8175857
well lets see.
you seem to say
yyyy > mm > dd
is correct, but that
dd < mm < yyyy
is almost as wrong as
mm > dd < yyyy
?
seriously? do I have to explain to you why you are retarded? (and this has nothing to do with any ISO standards you goddamn fucktard)
>>8175843
yyyy.mm.dd vs dd.mm.yyyy really depends on your purpose. For archiving use the former, but for everyday things the latter. I don't think I need to be reminded what year it is (or month most of the time either) if I e.g. want to meet up with a friend.

American dates use the "/" European dates use the "."
2.7 second day of July
2/7 seventh day of February
>>8175847
This. It's always as much numbers as possible.
>>8175866
>this has nothing to do with any ISO standards you goddamn fucktard
>do I have to explain to you why you are retarded?
It has everything to do with the ISO standard, watch:
yyyy > mm > dd
so far so good?
let's look closer:
y>y>y>y > m>m > d>d
...still nice and tidy.
now the Euro system:
d>d < m>m < y>y>y>y
and America:
m>m > d>d < y>y>y>y
Arabic numerals go from general to specific, left to right, mm/dd makes sense, dd/mm is all mixed up.

That was fun!
Someone clearly put effort into make it have only one solution.
>>8175843
>e day
2/72 oh well.
2/8 would work according to rounding logic.
>>8176009
Euros uses dashes, Yankee.
>>8176009
brexit uses d/m/y with /
>>8176274
>2/72
>rounds to 2/8
ANON PLS
>>8176911
If you go by value of numbers
Month: 1 to 12
Day: 1 to 31
Year: -x to +x
>>8177020
hey stupid, both systems of measurement are just as arbitrary. It really doesn't matter.
