where it's in a "hh.mm/dd.mm/yyyy" format?

but these all appear to be:
hh.mm/mm.dd/yyyy  (or possibly)
mm.dd/hh.mm/yyyy

this points back to a "hh.mm/dd.mm/yyyy" pattern.

the dd.mm (European format, i'm guessing) doesn't
flow with the other ones...

but, then again, i know what you're saying. :)
i wrote "02202002" on a post-it when i first came in
and stared at it... not for too long, though. :)
i just needed a couple cups of vanilla-cinammon-
creme-induced coffee to snap out of it.
