Many high schools "around the country"?

What country, eh? Graue 02:32, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

October 23 or June 2?

My high school celebrates Mole Day on May 2 (6/02).

:No offense, but your High School must be a bit confused then. May is the fifth month, not the sixth so May 2 would (5/02):)--T. Anthony 14:11, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Shhhhh, late wiki editing and 5 AP classes. You know what I meant. Hazelorb 07:43, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

:So do you mean 6/02 or 5/02? Nil Einne 19:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Wouldn't your High School be on Summer Break during 6/02? - Anonymous

::In the Northeast and in California, most schools start in September and get out in mid June.

I think that it would, indeed, be June second at 10:23. Most days like this are decided by the decimal portion of the number in question, with the time being 10:exponent. Mbpiii 20:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree. June 02nd @ 1023hr makes FAR more sense as 6.02e10^23. - WhiteRussian1974 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whiterussian1974 (talkcontribs) 04:34, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

:Who's going to be in a classroom at 6:02 though, I wonder (and why Mole Day instead of Mole Minute)? The interlanguage links all seem to be translations, but I imagine an Old World holiday could only fall on Feb 6. Sparafucil (talk) 00:39, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

::It seems to be October 23 in [https://www.ista.ie/mole-day-october-23rd/ Ireland], at any rate. - Donald Albury 15:38, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm wondering about the addition of some more holiday links. Would you consider festivus frivilous? MrBeck 02:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

This thing called Globalization

No offense, but the US isn't the only country on the planet celebrating Mole day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.76.87.120 (talk) 15:21, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Indeed! I live in Canada and I celebrated this yesterday! I celebrate by drinking a mole (18.00mL) of water :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.151.173.195 (talk) 15:37, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
