Nine in the Calendar Longest Run in Timekeeping
The article notes that the numeral 9 entered the calendar on January 1, 1889 and will remain for 111 years until December 31, 1999, a longer continuous usage than any other digit. It compares past runs, including a 111 year span for 9 from 889 to 999, and observes that digits 3 and 7 have not surpassed 100 years in use.
