Hey, this looks pretty good. Let's hope the trend continues (if, in fact, there *is* a trend).
Date Prefixes 231196 40687 241196 40908 251196 40844 261196 41043 271196 41074 281196 39803 291196 39735
I suspect that this is more due to the holiday than any real change. ;-(
Someone could do a paper on periodic influences on the number of global prefixes. I'd really love to know when triple-witching day is... ;-)
