Hi Betty p,

You aren't an idiot they are very confusing!

Put a 1 in front and it becomes 18531102 - then read backwards to give 2nd November 1853.

Does this help?

Hi Jean,

Thank you so much! It's so simple when you know how.I've actually had it explained to me before but not retained that info. Now what does that say about me! Thanks ever so,
