Sequential time
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sequential time is one in which the numbers form a normal sequence, such as 1:02:03 4/5/06 (one hour, two minutes, and three seconds past midnight on April 5, 2006). Short sequential times appear every day, such as 1:23:45. Larger sequential times rarely appear, such as 12:34:56 7/8/90, or 01:23:45 on 6/7/89 (obviously, these time artifacts are dependent of the time format being used, the U.S. having different date order to most of the rest of the world).
This term, however, is not limited to simple counting.[citation needed] Other sequences, such as the decimal numbers of the mathematical constants π (3/14/1592), e (2/7/1828), and the square root of two (1/4/1421) are also noted. Number sequences such as the Fibonacci sequence (11/23/5813) can also be found in time stamps.
Palindromic times can also be observed, eg 00:02:10 on 11/01/2000 was the first fully palindrome time sequence of the twenty first century.
