In the ongoing series of "Days only a math geek could love," today is Odd Day. Odd Days occur when the month, day and year are three consecutive odd numbers. Today is 05/07/09. Odd days occur only six times each century so enjoy this truly Odd Day.

Last night on TV, I heard there is a contest offering a 579 dollar prize to someone who submits the oddest celebration of this event. We're irregular. What can we come up with?

I'll play 579 on Pick Three today. I haven't thrown away a dollar (or 50 cents) in quite some time.
ReplyDeleteThey add up to 21, orbs. That's a lucky number too....
ReplyDeleteJust think though, you would be betting on a favorite, no long shot. How many other Pick Three winners will you have to split those winnings with?
Maybe you should just buy a coffee?

I'm waiting for "One's Day", 11/11/11.

ReplyDeleteI drank 5 cups of hot coffee.
