"Can you spot where he got the two thirteens from?"

Add together the 1 and 12 from the date, and add together the 3, 3 and 7 from the time.

Because, you know, when you're dealing with thought processes like this, you ought to be sufficiently familiar with the contents of Rules of Numerical Intepretation for Predictions, Fortune-Telling and Other Such Things, 73rd Edition[1] to be perfectly aware that you treat each number either as a whole (e.g. 12) or as individual digits (e.g. 3 and 7 from 37) as needed to achieve the desired result, logic and consistency be damned!

[1] Note that some unscrupulous purveyors of printed paper products may try foisting their unsold stock of the 10th [2] edition on you instead, claiming that it is actually the 73rd edition because, duuh, 7+3, so do take care when shopping for this essential tome if it's not already found a special place on your bookshelf...

[2] Note however that if they're sufficiently unscrupulous to try foisting a 1st edition on you instead (7 + 3 = 10, 1 + 0 = 1), then if it's in decent condition you may want to give serious consideration to their offer, given how much a 1st edition can go for in the collectors market...
