And a whole slew of other probabilities that people will suggest.  Since
the time stamp
in this example is HH:MM, DD/MM, CCYY, it won't work for many of these
examples
because of the limitations of 12 months (there is no 22nd month!).

Wirt's example (21:12, 21/12, 2112) is correct though.

I have seen this same discussion floating about in a number of places on
the internet
and would like to point out that it is only true for non-US residents.
In the US our
date stamps are typically  HH:MM, MM/DD, CCYY - hence the date will not
be
symmetrical for US (pun intended) on February 20th.

Extra credit:  Who can come up with the last time and the next time that
it will be true
for US residents?
