The time and date are derived from Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.02 × 1023, defining the number of particles in one mole. (23 is supposed to be a superscript.)

If BiT were interested, he could Google it up as you did.

Aw man.

I misread the key word, and thought we were honoring chocolate-based sauces.
Didn't get why it would have tied into the date, but yum

Of course you were. Did you write the Russian page that has your "explanation" word-for-word?

And I DID think it meant chocolate-based sauces when I went to dinner with a friend at Cantina Laredo tonight!!

Mole does not necessarily have chocolate in it. Mole poblano is usually what you'll find in the U.S. and does have chocolate, but there are many other types of mole.

Well, I knew it was Avogadro's number day not the Mexican sauce Day. But that would have worked too! :-)

Dadgum! I thought this post was going to be about me. My college nickname was(and to a certain extent still is among my PKT brothers) The Mole Man due to my propensity to sleeping in rather than attending early morning classes. Throw in that my birthday was last Friday (Oct. 27) and it made sense at first glance. Oh well.
