Reply to comment by Halvus_I in TIL that 11/19/1999 was the the last date before 1/1/3111 when all the digits in the date were odd. by ShredTheUndead

A 01 is just 1, they are both odd… The 0 in front doesn’t make it a different number…

The title says "digit", not "number".

So 01 is two digits (0 and 1) while 1 is only one digit. They are not the same in this context.

I get that but still, 0 is not an odd or even number and why are we judging this by how a computer records it? I don’t write dates with 0’s and I don’t know anyone who does.
