Freaky 2011 Numbers

Post by JollyMon66 »

Do you like numbers?

This year, we will experience 4 unusual dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, and 11/11/11.

Now for the tricky math....take the last two digits of the year you were born PLUS the age you will be this year and it will equal 111.

How freaky is that? :o

It would have worked last year and you would have gotten 110. Next year you'll get 112. It has to do with the new century.

and yes - math sux

Eleven is the only number in numerology that isn't reduced.......it stands alone. 11 is consider the 'psychic' or 'guru' number....it leads from darkness to light...

There are lots of significant numbers in your numerology spread....the 5 may be your life path number....but there are other numbers that are important....

Yes, I'm weird like that.

It is freaky at first, but all you're really doing is adding your birth year plus your age to get this year (well, 111 instead of 2011; you're not using all four digits of your birth year or this year). Put another way, if you took 2011 and subtracted your birth year (for me, 1951) you will get how old you are (I'll be 60); and then

If you did it with 2010, you'd get 110. 2010 less 1951 equals 59. Or 59 plus 51 equals 110.
2009 would give you 109.
2008 would give you 108.
Etc.

For kids born after 1999, it is not going to be 111, it will only be 11, because you advanced a century, 100 years. (Someone else can explain that one better than I can!)

And if you really feel like doing some arithmetic, if you are born in the 1800's and live to 2011 you have to start subtracting! 2011 less 1899 equals 112. 1899 is 1 year from the century mark of 1900, so you have to subtract 1 year to get 111.

I was really figuring this out for myself - because it really is freaky!

(And I have this thing about 111.)
