Math Corner: Save the Date

Question: While Pi Day Occurs every year on March 14th, United Nations World Statistics Day only occurs once every five years on October 20th. It last occurred on October 20th 2020 and will next occur on Monday October 20th 2025 and you’re all invited to the party. The next World Statistics Day after that is on October 20th 2030, a date which can be written as 10/20/30.

After October 20th, 2030, what is the next date which can be written as two digit month, two digit day, and two digit year such that all three numbers are multiples of 10 and all are in an arithmetic sequence?

10/30/50 (October 30, 20250)
