17 degrees at 17:17
A few weeks ago I glanced at the clock/temperature display in the car while driving and the display showed it to be 17C at 17:17. I thought it was a neat pattern and didn’t think anything more of it. That is, I didn’t think of it until it happened again and then another time. In the past few weeks it’s happened many times and there were even three days in a row where I just happened to notice the time and temperature and they matched. Of course now I am far more conscious of it and keep an eye out for the time and temperature. This doesn’t happen with any other time of day so it think it’s kind of neat. I will admit I was wondering if there was some sort of glitch when it kept showing the same temperature at the same time each day but it never persisted more than three days running.

To go on a total tangent…. A friend recently posted that the thermometer in his car only ever showed certain numbers and not others. He left it as a puzzle for the reader to figure out why this was happening, and he gave examples of the numbers that would and wouldn’t ever be shown. Eventually we figured out that his car was measuring the temperature in degrees Celsius and then converting from there to degrees Fahrenheit. Since Celsius degrees are so much bigger than Fahrenheit degrees, the conversion from a whole number of C degrees totally skipped some F numbers.
I thought that was really interesting. :)
