You're right! I just geeked out over this!! I'm a retired teacher (still sub part-time), and my last 8 years was teaching 5th grade math. The kids would have loved this!!

Upon seeing this thread, I thought significance of this date--8-16--was the day Elvis died.

That's what my friend thought I was talking about too. RIP Elvis Presley.

I see it as 2x8=16

3x8=24

Unless there is some other meaning which I don't know.

Thanks for the explanation @on the bay .

I guess we could also see it as

8+8=16

16+8=24

Or you could look at it as

8= 8

1+6= 7

2+4= 6

8,7,6

ETA: You could take it further to investigate what the number 876 means spritually, if you are inclined toward that. I am of the opinion that anything is possible, so.....

It will happen every three years until 12--24-36.

It's like 7/14/21 was, right?

Or what 9/18/27 will be, right?

Or maybe I'm not getting it....

@ThinkingOutLoud

Are you an accountant or bookkeeper?

I find that I frequently "notice" numbers...especially if they have something to do with my life. di

It's just that the day and year are multiples of the month:

August- 8 / (plus 8) 16 / (plus 8) 24

Sptember- 9 / (plus 9) 18 / (plus 9) 27

etc.
