To expect that if you advertise Prime Day, it should involve numbers?

[Sadik]

Just looked up a book on Amazon to see it plastered with adverts for Prime Day. I got all excited, and imagined it might include talks / reviews of interesting books on numbers / cryptography / who knows.

Humph.

[user1466864758]

Ahhhh, I get it. You're trying to be funny.

[Sadik]

so scathing, User.

I did genuinely go and google Prime Day in the thought that it was an Actual Thing before realising I was being dense . . .

[Trills]

Pi Day is 14th March (if you write your dates in American anyway)

[Trills]

That's a lot of sarcasm from someone who has't even set up their account properly.

[user1466864758]

I've set my account up just fine. The 'joke' just isn't that funny--so I guess the correct response is YABU.

[TantrumsAndBalloons]

Your account isn't set up "just fine"

Because if it was you would have an actual user name.

HTH

[user1466864758]

You've really got time to quibble over whether I can be bothered to change the username?

Why not try addressing the original post.

HTH.

[MachiKoro]

You'd better watch out for super Tuesday and black Friday then.

[TantrumsAndBalloons]

I've got nothing but time today User.
As for me addressing the OP- what, in the oh so helpful way that you did?

Another one with too much time on their hands, maybe...?

[BombadierFritz]

Dont change your user name. Its a useful filter.

[BombadierFritz]

Prime Day would be awesome

[Trills]

But WHICH day would be Prime Day? There are a lot in the year that qualify.

Tomorrow is a Prime Day: 3 and 7 are both primes.

29th November has the largest primes of any day in a year?

[SoupDragon]

I don't think you can have a prime day in 2016.

[Trills]

2017 though...

[TeenAndTween]

I enjoyed it.

There are 10 types of people in the world .....



Those that understand binary

and those that don't.

[mrsfuzzy]

eh ? mrs thickie of thick town here, what are you talking about ??

[AuroraBora]

I appreciate that Prime day could be a thing like Pi day is - I love that sort of shit. But it would be extremely unpredictable as to its occurrence. There couldn't be a prime day in 2016 as a pp has said... And even if we ignored the years it would be odd to have it annually on the same date as that wouldn't be very prime-like...

[Sadik]

YY to an unpredictable moving Prime Day, and I think you'd have to take into account the years.

I like Pi Day, I'll even write my dates Americanly for the sake of it.

[AuroraBora]

Would we look at days months and years individually? So 2nd March 2017 is a prime day as 2 and 3 and 2017 are prime.

Or is it only a prime day if ddmmyyyy is a prime? So 2nd March 2017 isn't a prime day as 02032017 divides by 3?

overthinks

[Trills]

I'd make it yyyymmdd - more consistent and no US/UK arguments.

[Cagliostro]

I hear ya, Sadik [maths nerd high five]

Here's a video you may enjoy. :o

[MrSlant]

My son said they had a special day at school about how 'we all have gold inside us' and I got VERY excited talking about how that was true and we all contain bits of exploded stars and bits of the universe. It was a day to boost children's confidence. My day would have been MUCH better.

[SoupDragon]

Or, it has to be Prime in all possible permutations of date format...

[MetalMidget]

Or should be about Optimus Prime, with mandatory viewing of the 1986 animated Transformers movie.

YOU GOT THE TOUCH! YOU GOT THE POWEEEEER!
