[USMA:26529] Re: 28/293 Calendar Special Day

[Brij Bhushan Vij]

'Speciality of February 29' every four years was understandable. Several 
frioends have argued to have it EVERY YEAR. Well, I have amply shown its 
possibility by following *Divide by six(6) Rule* using 834-yr cycle (139+9 
LWks). Time of the Day during any date can be 12x60x60, 24x60x60, 10x100x100 
or 20x100x100 units or for that matter any distribution that meet the common 
man's needs; for civil use. It is the astronomical application that hinder 
*one scholar from the other*. I have placed my expositions, to examine by 
usma & Calndr-L friends to see through WHAT is best for SI (System 
Internationale d'Unites).

     *****The New Calendar Rhyme*****
Thirty days in July, September:
April, June, November, December;
All the rest have thirty-one; accepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:
Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!

And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule!

Special leap days (29 February) are usually 428064 days apart (4 * 293
years). They are also sometimes 761166 days apart (2 *  4 * 293 - 260) 
years
apart (or 7 * 293 + 33 years). Can there be any other spacing? The spacing
depends on the distribution of the exceptions to the every 4 years rule for
leap years.
