Yup, and besides the counter-clockwise for consistency, I would like them even more if:

* Each stroke were 1 bit, so the numerals would be just a more "compact" representation for binary numbers.

* Even better if they can be represented with a seven-segment display (or other similar displays).

(Though I can't blame them, since these two things didn't even exist back then.)


Unix time 1666666666 happened last month, on October 25th 02:57:46 UTC.

A closer "round" number will be 1670000000, happening next month on December 2nd 16:53:20 UTC.

But for 1700000000 we'll have to wait until next year, November 14th 22:13:20 2023 UTC.


1666666666 was special, though. A beast of a number, no, three beasts of a number.


Am I correct that the 32nd prime is 1,453,168,141, and the 33rd prime is 2,300,942,549?

I've noticed good times like that getting fewer and farther between.
