Interest in Numbers

Mother always showed a keen interest in numbers. However busy she might be, certain combinations would not escape her attention. For instance, when she wrote the date 24.10.53, she pointed out to me that it contained all the figures from one to five.

On 27th February 1972, she remarked that from whatever direction you read the date, from left or right, it is 2,7,2,7,2.
