I'm going to have to rain on GJW's parade. The messed-up American dating standard makes that time on the 4th of April less than numerologically signifigant, and the convenient HH:MM:SS format also reverses signifigance. I assume we're going for ascending signifigance as well as a neat 1:2:3:4:5:6 sequence?

03:02:01 on the 4th of May 2006 would keep the signifigant digits in order (1st second of the second minute of the 3rd hour of the 4th day of the 5th month of the 6th year).

The only thing worse than pointing that out is that it is one of the few things the American military gets right.

I'd go for the 11th Nov '11 11:11:11... Most number of repeated digits you'll ever see on a common digital clock/watch, although this is a century thing unless you're thinking year 1111. Then its once in a lifetime unless in future there's a year 11111.

Lol, I just created a new thread about this w/o even seeing this one. But, I figured this one out on my own when I was doing my morning logs. I was writing the date and it hit me!

It will actually happen twice on that day, once in the AM and once in the PM.
