02-02-2020 is a palindrome in UK, US and ISO date formats. It's the 33rd day of the year, another palindrome. There are 333 days left in the year, another palindrome.

This will never happen again.

The best time to witness this "phenomenon" would have been at 02:02:02 this morning.

Hopefully...

No, 02:22:20 or 12:22:21 or the many other palindrome times.

Yes, maybe in the year 202020.

You must be backward.

My early Pioneer receiver came with a full schematic. The only thing not defined were a few custom chips.

My later Pioneer receiver was so complex that I had to Buy the schematic and it came on microfiche. So I had to get a microfiche viewer too. Good thing my mom worked at Goodwill during the heart of the industry scrapping of whole mainframe computers, so they had litereally tons of things they were sending straight to the scrappers. I would have loved to dig some huge caps or air handlers or such from some of them.

Anyway, now the schematics are nort even available unless you are a servicing dealer. Could probably still get them... all likely in PDF format these days. They are likely free actually, considering the difference in cost to produce microfiche over a PDF.

I thought that if Dr Doolittle's "pushme-pullyou" were based on a dromedary it would be a palindromedary...

That should have been !gag! :-)

But if you extend it indefinitely, it constructs a transcendental number.

The first such was built in an analogous manner. The key point is that the non-zero entries space out, exponentially. You can tackle it if you wish, but the proof is non-trivial -
