Did you have any particular century in mind? IP Logged Noke Lieu Uberpuzzler pen... paper... let's go!

That aside...   Are you trying to tell me that there are days of the week that a century can not end on? Even in cricket that's tough.   There is a 400 year grand cycle of calendars, right? I suppose that might mean that there are 3 days that the centries can't end on.   But that also means we've got to distinguish when the century ends. I mean, did you party harder in 1999-2000 than 2000-2001? 2001 started on a Monday (old calendar infront of me) so they can end on Sunday.   Mucking around with Windows clock, gives: 01 centries end on  Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday « Last Edit: May 9th, 2004, 9:58pm by Noke Lieu » IP Logged a shade of wit and the art of farce.

No matter when I may have partied harder,  the answer to the question remains the same.     « Last Edit: May 12th, 2004, 12:08am by ThudnBlunder » IP Logged THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH.....................................................................er, if that's all right with the rest of you.
