Set your clock for 9:21 - don't miss it!

I sent this to my students, so I thought I'd share...

Tonight at 9:21 it will be the 21st minute of the 21st hour of the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century!

~~Conventionally that may be correct but technically the 21st century did not start until January 1, 2001 so we are in the 20th year of the 21st century.~~

The foregoing is incorrect. 2021 is the 21st year of the century.

Just another day, unless I turn into a pumpkin (or something else.)

@Marp Ok, I'm really racking my mind on this. Wouldn't 2001 have been the 1st year of the 21st century so 2021 would be the 21st year? This seems like it would be obvious, but it's turning out to be a big brain teaser for me because of your comment.

@eaesquire, mea culpa, you are correct. I failed to count 2001 as the first year so this is in fact the 21st year of the century.

@Marp LOL, thank you for giving me a great brain teaser though! Have a great 21st.

@house_cat ~ Also, how about a 21st birthday!

I also forwarded this to a bunch of friends. Just too cool not to mention. Thank you for posting.

If 2001 was the first year of the 21st century, what century was the year 2000 in?

A baby at birth is in his/her first year, I think.

@Y2Worry, The 20th (twentieth) century began on January 1, 1901, and ended on December 31, 2000.

The 21st (twenty-first) century is the current century of the Anno Domini era or Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar.It began on January 1, 2001, and will end on December 31, 2100. The 21st century is the first century of the 3rd millennium..

That is cool. However, so far I am not impressed with the new year. Maybe I hoped for so much in saying goodbye finally to 2020.
