A little fun and a Math Test:


This year we will experience 4 unusual dates, 1/1/11 (Jan 1, 2011), 1/11/11 (Jan 11, 2011), 11/1/11 (Nov 11, 2011), and 11/11/11 (Nov. 11, 2011). Now I have a little math test for you. Take the last 2 digits of the year you were born, and how old you are going to be this year, and the total will be 111. No matter how old you are or when you are born the total will always be 111. (Me 55 + 56 = 111)
Just a interesting little tidbit for your day
