Zeev It *IS *higher math, and my typo confused things more.
They started as the "Paramount Program" which was separate studios releasing their product jointly, *IN 1912.* They didn't actually merge into a single real studio until* 1915.* So their true "100th Anniversary" isn't for 3 more years. But they wanted to celebrate *NOW*, so they made *2012 *the 100th birthday, counting the three "Paramount Program" years. But in their press release, someone wrote that they didn't even use their famous logo until *1916*, in print or onscreen, and *that* is what was wrong, and what I disproved!
