a fun little game i made up,and think some of you might like it

ok i currently got 1745 badges,so my idea is this what ever number of badges you have find out one fact that happend in that year.

for example with my number 1745 = “July 26 – The first recorded women’s cricket match took place near Guildford, England”.

i am curious what other things are linked with your badge amounts.

if you got any questions please feel free to post

will be cool to see what one fact each person picks from there badge number = year.
