| The last upside down year was 1961 |
|
Anyone remember the Mad Magazine cover?
The next ones will be 6009, 6119, 6699, 6889.

So I don't remember the cover. And it never occurred to me that it was upside down. I feel so special. :)

| 4. No, because the 2s would appear upside down. |

2112 is a palindrome, which isn't the same thing.

In most cases, it will just look like an upsidedown 2.

| 7. "Rotational symmetry" is how my brother (b. 1961) refers to it. |

He's a mathematics major (and teacher) if you couldn't guess. :eyes:
