Yes! we are rapidly moving towards another fascinating date. On the 9th second of the 9th minute of the 9th hour of the 9th day of the 9th month of the 9th year the date will be: 09 09 09 09 09 09 . To you and me that's the 9th of September 2009. Dates such as these are great starting points for mini investigations in maths: what will the next fun date be? How long before we can have the same sequence again? What other sequences could we have (remember you can only go up to 12 for the months) etc.
