11.11.11.11.11.11

If you take the six pairs of elevens as a binary number, the more familiar decimal equivalent would be 1,023.

Make that the year MXXIII... the year during which currency was first printed on paper by the Chinese.

Just a thought...

"In Germany the Karneval season (also known as the fifth season!) officially gets under way at 11.11 am on the 11th day of the 11th month. I suspect that this year there will be an extra kölsch or two drunken to celebrate, as if the Karnevalisten need the excuse."
