That's interesting. I started chipping away at it by finding the years
first. From 1800 1 1 a four year block would have 1+4*365 days or an average
of 365.25 per year. So That extra wouldn't happen until 4 years had passed.
See if you would like it better if you remove the years first. I'll see
Hi Linda,
I share your dream and sometimes the statement 'I have a dream' can change the
world. :-)
On to the weekend puzzle...
The first thing I need to figure out is whether the birthday has happened this
year or not. If it has then I can pretty easily get the number of days since

the windows zlib1.dll binary is actually copied from j701 gtk binary which

zlib_compress also supports an optional left argument between 0 and 9. 0 is
uncompressed, 1 is the fastest, and 9 slowest.

The obnoxiously technical answer to this question is there are multiple
definitions of both "year" and "day", and how long *anything* is also depends
on the length of your ruler.
That's not helpful for your exercise, I know, but it's worth bearing in mind
for this meta-debate.

I agree. But if the month is February it also depends on the year. :)
So... when you say:
"His age is 12 years, 7 months and 18 days."
Which seven months did you use?
Thanks,
