12/20/2012 — Another Permutation Day!

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

Not only is today a permutation day, but it is also a transposition day!  A transposition is a rearrangement that simply swaps too things, like ’12’ and ’20’.

Celebrate Permutation Day by mixing things up!  Try doing things in a different order today, or maybe try swapping two things in your schedule to honor today’s transposition!

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

01/22/2012 — Happy Permutation Day!

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

We enjoyed several Permutation Days in 2011.  In addition to predicting future dates, an interesting question would be “Which year has the most Permutation Days?”

In honor of today, I recommend changing the order in which you do things!
