Happy 05/05/05!

Nothing else to say, really - I just love dates which make patterns, and it's especially pleasing that we're getting one like this every year at the moment, up to and including 2012. I should have got up at five past five this morning for the full effect, I suppose! Hmmm... maybe I'll save that sort of thing until we get up to 08/08/08.

Ooh! Although, since I don't use Excel, I don't really understand what you mean by the 'number value' of a date. How is that arrived at?

Each day has a particular number value assigned to it. For example, today is 38477, tomorrow will be 38478 and so on. (I think it takes 01 January 1900 as day 00001.)
