Forget 1234567890 day, real geeks will be celebrating 1235711130 day also know as 7 Primes Day! 

2. What is 7 Primes day?

On this Friday, Feb 27 at exactly 05:05:30 (GMT), Unix time (WTF is Unix time?) will equal ‘1235711130′.

 

3. Ok I get; 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13 but what about 0?

Zero it there to foster debate about Maths and give people the opportunity show their proof… infinite number of divisors anyone.

 

5. Why is 7 primes day (7pd) better than 1234567890 day

2. Primes are geeker

3. Less people will be celebrating it

5. It’s not on Friday the 13th… so no conspiracy theories 

 

7. What is a prime?

What! You got this far with out understanding that! Try here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number

 

11. When is 7pd?

Friday, Feb 27, 05:05:30 (GMT) or type date -r 1235711130 into your *NIX command shell.

 

13. 1 isn’t a prime either, look you even start you question at 2.

FUCK YOU!
