This was a quick video I made in a hotel room. I couldn't let 02/02/2020 pass without marking the occasion with a video!

Here are the years which are palindromic dates as well as being palindromic splits in the year for the USA and UK style calendars.

22/01/1022 UK

09/12/2190 UK

01/22/2210 USA

12/09/9021 USA

These are the dates on my sheets:

CORRECTIONS

- I messed up the next palindrome date which works for UK and USA style calendars. We've already had November and OCTOBER (not December which I said) and the next one is December: 12/12/2121. First pointed out by Dr Amy.

- Typos in description spotted by R Dollarandyou.

- Let me know if you spot any mistakes! Other than the exposure not matching.
