I don't understand the statement that 12:34:56 7/8/9 will only happen once in history. Because the year is ambiguous wouldn't this same sequence also occur on 12:34:56 7/8/[100]9? In other words, any year ending in 9 (e.g., 1009, 109, 1209, etc.) would also produce this sequence as long as the year is specified only with one number.

You are correct as far as I can tell. I replied to Anu asking him as much. It will happen at least every 1,000 years, as will any date with the year abbreviated. I don't know where he got that! :0)

or, as the OP suggest, every 100 years; as on July 8, 2109.

I don't remember, but was it Anu who said to look for:
11:11:11 11/11/11 in 2011?
