November 2nd 2011 was a rare eight-digit palindrome day if you write the date as 11022011.
However, here in the UK we would write this date as 02112011 so it wasn’t a palindrome day for us
The 11th November 2011 was a very rare palindrome day. The time and date was a same-numbered palindrome at 11 seconds past 11 minutes past 11 o’clock, on the 11th of November 2011 – 11.11.11. on 11.11.11
