| #27 by Keila - 11/22/2003 3:24:10 PM Thanksgiving is on Thursday the 27th this year. It is always on the last Thursday in November. |
Thought that is typically true, actually, it's always the 4th Thursday in November. For instance:
Calendar for November 2006
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9 10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17 18
19 20 21 22 23 24 25
26 27 28 29 30
Drat...that just won't line up right.... Anyway, there are 5 thursdays in that month- 2, 9, 16, 23, 30

Maybe once Xmas is over, it could be adapted to a "winter" theme, so it could be used during that entire season.
I, for one, would. Beautiful Mormegil.

You are right of course Karma. I knew that but was not thinking about if there were 5 Thursdays.

Keila, it probably only happens about every 7 years or something.
Does anyone know how they determine Easter? That one still baffles me.
So, Paul, where is my "beta" of this? 
I really like this skin

I thought I was the only one baffled by Easter.Reply #39 Tuesday, November 25, 2003 9:27 PM
KG: easter is the Sunday following the Pascal full moon, which may happen between March 21st to April 18 inclusively.
Calculating it is another story though, since you must calculate the cycles of the moon.
Here is the algorythm if you're familiar with integer maths:
In the text below, / represents an integer division neglecting the remainder, while % is division keeping only the remainder. So 30/7=4 , and 30%7=2 .
a=year%19
b=year/100
c=year%100
d=b/4
e=b%4
f=(b+8)/25
g=(b-f+1)/3
h=(19*a+b-d-g+15)%30
i=c/4
k=c%4
l=(32+2*e+2*i-h-k)%7
m=(a+11*h+22*l)/451
Easter Month 
h+l-7*m+114)/31 [3=March, 4=April]
p=(h+l-7*m+114)%31
Easter Date=p+1 (date in Easter Month)

What's that smilie doing there?
OK, here it is again, hopefully with no smilie:
a=year%19
b=year/100
c=year%100
d=b/4
e=b%4
f=(b+8)/25
g=(b-f+1)/3
h=(19*a+b-d-g+15)%30
i=c/4
k=c%4
l=(32+2*e+2*i-h-k)%7
m=(a+11*h+22*l)/451
Easter Month = ( h+l-7*m+114 )/31 [3=March, 4=April]
p=(h+l-7*m+114)%31
Easter Date=p+1 (date in Easter Month)
