As the clock ticks over from 8:01 PM on Wednesday, February
20th, 2002, time will (for sixty seconds only) read in perfect symmetry. To be more precise (in European format):
20:02, 20/02, 2002.
It is an event that has only ever happened once before, and
is something that will never be repeated. The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days of the digital watch (or the 24-hour clock): 10:01 AM, on January 10, 1001. And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will never happen again.
