Dates are cyclical except for the year, which increments by 1. So on 1/9/1940 you get 69. Therefore you can deincrement the month or day to get 68 again. In this case 1/8/1940 = 68. When you're adding up the same numbers every year, and predictably adding 1 every time, then it's easy to see how this can pop up every year. It's a consequence of adding a small set of numbers together.
As for finding specific dates, if you know one you can figure out the others. If 1/8/1940 is one then 2/7/1940 would be another. 3/6/1940. You can keep going from here. It happens a lot during a year. The only time it won't happen is when the year itself gets to be too large. 20 + 22 = 42, leaving you only 26 to work with. In 3022 you'll only have 16. 4022, only 6. Eventually you won't be able to add up dates and get 68 at all. So if numerology is real and there's some pattern that shows war breaking out ever date that adds up to 68, then we'll have world peace by 4028.
Yeah, I hadn't realized that if WWII could have been avoided until 1947, then it would have been pushed all the way back to the end of 2005.
Not sure what you mean. From 1914-07-28 to 2022-02-24, there are 463 days that add up to 68. That's about 1% of the days, so I think you'd get a similar result for most other two-digit numbers.
Consent go brrrr just deciding ww3 is happening instead of trying to prevent it brrrr just like covid and climate change brrrr aren't you glad we live in the land of free choice?
We should also watch out for the 23rd of March, the 22nd of April, the 21st of May.. ANY MONTH NOW.
They cut it down to 24 during the war as part of the rationing effort - it freed up 4 out of every 28 pinup models to go work in the factories - and haven't changed it back since
Oh wow. Starred. I teach math I hope I have an opportunity to use this one day
so glad that more people are accepting the knowledge from the greatest pro wrestling promo of all time
and Scott Steiner would have this knowledge, as he comes from a highly educated university
If we convinced numerologists to switch to a better hashing algorithm we would literally never have to hear from any of them again
