April 11 of 1954 can be identified as the most boring of the 20th century, according to the Cambridge scientist, computer programmer William Tunstall-Pedoe。
剑桥大学一位科学家、计算机编程人员威廉 汤斯多宣称，1954年4月11日为20世纪最无聊的一天。
On that day a general election was held in Belgium, a Turkish academic was born and an Oldham Athletic footballer died, Tunstall-Pedoe's computer program suggests. Apart from that nothing much happened。
The program, called True Knowledge, came to its decision after being fed some 300 million facts about "people, places, business and events". Using complex algorithms, such as how much one piece of information was linked to others, True Knowledge determined that particular 1950s Sunday to be outstanding in its obscurity。
"Nobody significant died that day, no major events apparently occurred," Tunstall-Pedoe said. "The irony is, though, that - having done the calculation - the day is interesting for being exceptionally boring."
Plans for the coup d'etat in Yanaon, then a small French colony in India, are also believed to have been hatched that on the evening of April 11, 1954, but nothing actually happened that night。
