This year we have 4 unusual dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11 and my personal favorite: 11/11/11. A special Veteran's Day.
It is also a coincidnce that you can take the last 2 digits of the year you were born and add it to the age you will BE this year and it will equal 111!
I'd say 111 is the 3 digit number to play this year, IF I were a 3 digit number player!
Happy 2011!
