Does anyone know who (at PTC) has a birthday 2/16/1951 ?


I kid my students about it but it has intrigued me for years

If you didn't get it, evertime you start the model with an extrude and an internal sketch the default depth is 216.51

With 13 decimals, the value is 216.5063509461096

According to Excel, that number represents 8/03/1900 12:12:09
From Wikipedia:
August 3, 1900 (Friday)
<ul>[*]Harvey Firestone established the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company as an automobile tire supply store in Akron, Ohio. Three years later, he began manufacturing tires.,<sup id="cite_ref-6" ="reference">[7]</sup>[*]Born: Ernie Pyle, American wartime journalist; near Dana, Indiana; killed in World WarII, 1945[/list]
I hope this helped.
