- eru 5y agoI was a bit uncharitable in my original comment: If you assume that the convention is to just always add exactly one leading zero, it works out. (It's still a bit silly overall, but there's nothing special about five digits then.)
- kragen 5y agoExcept on the third Tuesday of the month. Then you add two zeroes.
