You're assuming:
1) The fates pick dates that are arithmetic progressions.
2) The fates count in base 10 (and follow the Gregorian Calendar, etc)
3) The fates don't use military time

Just being pedantic

Wouldn't the end of the world more likely have happened at 01:23:45 6/7/89 or 12:34:56 7/8/90?
