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.

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

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 . . .

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

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

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

Your account isn't set up "just fine"

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

HTH

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.

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

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...?

Dont change your user name. Its a useful filter.

Prime Day would be awesome

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?

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

2017 though...

I enjoyed it.

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

Those that understand binary

and those that don't.

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

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...

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.

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

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

I hear ya, Sadik [maths nerd high five]

Here's a video you may enjoy. :o

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.

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

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

YOU GOT THE TOUCH! YOU GOT THE POWEEEEER!
