It is quite interesting to note that such an occurrence is quite rare. There are only twelve days for every century when the day, the month and the year can be represented by the same number. In other words, an Earthling who lives for one hundred years (which is quite rare, unless one lives in Japan) will get to see such a date only 12 times in 36,525 days {(75×365)+(25×366)}. So a day like this has a 1 in 3,043.75 chance of occurring, which makes it somewhat special.
Have a great day, Earthlings! ๐

Hey Sakhi . . . that is exactly what I wrote . . . that such a date would occur only twelve times in a century ๐ Don’t you think 12 in 36,525 is rare? ๐ ๐ ๐
