Our friend Ron Gordon is an educator who loves to spot patterns in calendar dates. He gave us Square Root Day, Odd Day, and other calendar holidays. The next one he designated Tic-Tac-Toe Day, on 12-13-14. That’s three numbers in a row, get it? However, this will be the last time the numbers line up sequentially this century. And Gordon is definitely celebrating- with a contest!
We’ve established a contest, and are offering the date in dollars ($1,213.14) to be shared by our 12+13+14 winners. Prizes will be distributed among those who create the most consequential sequential celebration. Suggestions include a poem, a story, a glorious winter gathering, a grand tic tac toe tournament, or a commemorative costume. Heck, you can even sponsor a debate to determine if 12/12/12 earned the designation, and perhaps this is truly nought “tic tac toe” but a calendar impostor.
