Hi Ulrich, I did not assign Monday = 1, etc. That's just the way the OFFSETS turn out using a base date of 0 Jan 1900. In any case, they are not inconsistent...

Hello, What are you trying to achieve? Do you want improved visualisation skill or do you mainly want it so that you can do mental steps without needing paper?...
This is an extremely important question! The ability to visualise is a prerequisite of most of the standard memory systems, but this is rarely mentioned in the...

I forgot to add, that for the year J (= 100 H + E)the formula K (W) = ( K (T) + K (M) + K (E) + K (H) ) mod 7 holds good if and only if J is a common year or...
