    So today is an international prime day because 291113 112913 20131129 are all primes

    Today could also have been a "perfect prime day" if MM, DD, YY and YYYY had been prime (in addition to the above). But it's not the case...

    11 -> is prime

    29 -> is prime

    13 -> is prime

    2013 -> not prime (3 x 11 x 61)

    Too bad! We will have to wait another 16 years before we have a perfect prime day...

    Not prime here in the UK where we write our dates DDMMYYYY.
