Saturday will be the last time this century that the date will consist of consecutive odd numbers.

The date will read 9/11/13 and the unusual sequence of numbers will not be repeated until March 1, 2105 (1/3/5).

Ron Gordon, a retired teacher from Redwood City, California, has urged people to celebrate the day.

He has set up a competition with a prize fund of the date in US dollars ( 911.13) to be shared by the 33 people (9+11+13) who make the best effort to mark the day.

Writing on his website OddDay.net, he stated: " Prizes will be distributed to those who involve the most people in the oddest parade of odd characters, write the best odd ode, or create the best odd celebrations."

Mr Gordon, who noted that some countries including the US will have their final Odd Day on 11/13/15 , called on people to greet their friends with "the news of the day".

He wrote: " It's kind of like a secret that you can't help sharing. A little math, a little smile, a little fun - that's Odd Day!"

His suggested activities include doing your odds and ends around the house, rooting for the odds-on favourite and finding a missing odd sock.

Mr Gordon, who also celebrates Square Root Day, added: "A s odd as it is, the 9th of November b rings a glorious day we will always remember. This won't happen again for 92 years."


A little explanation:
1.3
3.5
5.7
7.9
9.11
11.13 <~~ There is no 13, so this is the last date.

What kinda date is 11/13/2015 ? DD/MM/YYYY thats how its supposed to be, not how it is messed up in this fail basetime.

Ah. I understand. I'm not used to that system of dating, so i didn't understand what he meant when he said that America would have a different final odd day.

The man is from America, where it MM/DD/YYYY. He lives in a country where that is how we write out our dates. That is what he should use. Not saying one system is better than the other, but that is the system he grew up in.

Yes. They are both technically correct

ex. February 25th, 2013 or The 25th of February, 2013.

MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY

America goes by Month/Day/Year, so we still have 11/13/15. Also, good luck getting America to celebrate anything beginning with 9/11...
