[edit] Removed Redirection

Old Redirection: Talk:International_Fixed_Calendar

I have removed the redirection from this talk page because I believe it to only be tangentially and not directly related to this topic. --Stux 21:50, 22 October 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Example Perpetual Calendar

I think this entry should have an example of the gregorian calendar or even formulas themselves. At the very least links to online perpetual calendars would be useful. I found one here by searching Google but I don't know if its a good example to link. If it had days of the week explictly listed, it would be more useful. --Stux 21:50, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Here's an example I just put up: [1] --User:KarenSDR


[edit] Perpetual Calendar Formula

I added an example of a formula that can be used to create a perpetual calendar. I added some links to my web site and then discovered that I did not use the formula in the javascript. I then removed the links. Denmarks 21:21, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I added a second formula. Denmarks 22:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

The second Zeller formula is completely wrong try it for September 1 1939 or March 1 2007...

Interesting webpage about different types of Christian Zeller algorythms one can find here:

I'd like to see some information on how mechanical watches implement perpetual calendars. 218.215.32.173 16:27, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Fun little fact: Weekdays run on cycles of 6,5,6,11,6,5,6,11...ect. A total 4 times in a cycle of 28 years. In other words, if you have a day such as March 5th fall on a Monday in a particular year, that day of the week will fall either 5,6, or 11 years later depending on the cycle. Try and find the cycle of you birth dates and see what cycle you are in.
