06/12/2016 — Happy Permutation Day!

Published by MrHonner on

Today we celebrate a Permutation Day!  I call days like today permutation days because the digits of the day and the month can be rearranged to form the year.

This is our third Permutation Day of the year, and we’ve got a few more coming up.

Celebrate Permutation Day by mixing things up!  Try doing things in a different order today.  Just remember, for some operations, order definitely matters!
