I'm not quite sure about the correct way to word this one, hopefully it makes sense :P

We don't know you, and you don't know us

Indeed it is. Although the answer should be in plural ;)

I recall it being harder than I seems here, so I probably missremembered something. Oh, well, you're up Shine.

I need to get better at asking riddles... It's 2 am, my football team just lost the game and I can't think of something.

The turn is open for everyone :)

The only numbers that are the same as themself or another number when turned upside down are 1, 6, 8, 9 and 0

since we are already living in 2013 we can neglect any years before it. the lowest number that is available to us in this way is 6009 followed by 6699,  6889, 6969, 8008, 8698, 8888, 8968, 9006, 9696, 9886 and 9966

the highest number we can get under 2013 is 1961 and there you have your proof.

 

Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain in the world?
