Wednesday , 10/23 is Mole Day, on which Avogadro's Number, 6.02 x1 10^^23.

If you get that, celebrate at 6:02 tomorrow*. If you don't, please turn your Nerd credentials in to the nearest Dungeon Master with a Science or Engineering degree.

*6:02 10/23.
 
I guess I missed the nerd alert. I thought I was one. It's a sad day. I just don't measure up...:(
 

I'd say you still measure up. It's a little obscure. I have also not used it since University.

Also, it's not funny if you write the date as 23/10. (As a Canadian I get perplexed by numerical dates unless one number is>13. For me, today is 23Oct.

Nerd divergence alert: The only time I ever put month first is in a full ISO sortable date 20191023
 
This is great! Never heard of Mole Day. :cool:

I have to agree with TWB, though. Year/month/day - logical. Day/month/year - logical. Month/day/year - what? No. Just no. Units, people....
 
Managed to pull that number out of the recesses of my brain for something I was working on the other day. Thanks for the reminder, TANSTAAFL

I am not a nerd but I frequently push mouths with one. I'm going to hit him up and see if he knows about this.

FTR, a quick perusal of my gallery resulted in no less than six photos of him with pens in his pocket - always black and blue, sometimes red. :)
