11-11-11

Questionmark_130Hi everybody! Today is November 11, 2011: 11/11/11! Freaky, right?

Here is a trick to amaze your friends and family. Add your age to the last two digits of your birth year. The answer will be 11. For example, if you are 10 and were born in 2001 . . .
10 + 01 = 11

Try it. It will work with everyone born in this century. For people born in the 1900s, the answer will be 111 on account of we're older. Test it on your friends, your parents, your dog. (Wait, it might not work in dog years. But if it does, leave a Comment letting us know!)

I don't know why it works, but it does. It must be some fluke-y thing about 11, so Happy 11/11/11 Day! The numbers will never line up like this again in your lifetime unless you live another hundred years. Although . . . some people think the world is going to end in 2012. Personally, I'm not worried one bit. I think the world will still be around for 12/12/12 and beyond.

This trick is cool and somewhat freaky. I am totally going to tell my family about this trick. Thank-you!

Wow! It does work.
I'm not a member of STACKS but I do play the 39 clues site.
That's cool!
*Doesn't work for dogs. At least not for mine.

It's my mom's birthday today :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MA!
yeah that is right...
Odd.

I think that this is really cool. Unfortunately, it does not work on me. I will definitely tell my family members about this. I think this date is really special. Thank for the facts!

That's so cool!

This trick is so cool!!! I like it!It sounds freaky and mysterious. I am so gonna tell everybody about it.

I like how you told us how to do a trick to tell your ages.

Wow that is awesome i never knew that we could do that. I will defiantly try it on my family members. 11/11/11 i so important to me because i have family that use to serve i the army.

How does that work really? I mean what does that mean? And how do you do it? Aren't some of them the same?

I think it is cool because it is so rare.

I did the math and it ended in 11. I think 11/11/11 is special since it only happens every 100 years. I also think it's important that we realize what a special day it is!

So Cool!
