Hrm interesting.
When I see xx/xx/xxxx I assume it's month-day-year (American style).
However in Germany people don't write dates this way. Usually it's yyyy.mm.dd or something like that, and I'm...

But in the above statement, by "disc" I mean a mathematical concept. Like a frisbee without a hole.
