Scott, is there a windows phone app to find all the quizzes (because I think it only works on iPhone)? Indeed, I tried to quizz me with my WP, but it does not work (only on the PC).

I tried it out on several dates, it did not work for me either (perpetual thing, not Scott's work). Tony |

Hi Tony
Maybe one of the maths geniuses (is that right?) on here will give us the low-down. On Scotts method I agree... BRILLIANT, I am now 3 days in at an hour a day and I am averaging around 10 seconds now. I'm not using any of the suggested short-cuts yet and have kept to 1900 to 2100 for now, when I get this in 5 seconds I will expand the range and look at the shortcuts. Once again a superb method Scott. Respect to all Steve

That is the day for the calculation" Simple and elegant once you "get it" Respect to all Steve

Hans-Christian was referring to this:
http://www.cs.umsl.edu/~astanger/DayOfWeek.pdf You can find instructions in Hans-Christian's definitive "Encyclopedia of Weekday Calculation." No calculator required. It's pure "look-up." AND it easily handles ANY date, Julian OR Gregorian. Al Stanger |

I had to do a little research, but I've found the problem.
Windows Phone 7's built-in browser doesn't yet support CSS3 (when the links are clicked, there's a simple CSS3 transition to the page). It's still based on the IE7 CSS rendering engine. I've updated the program to eliminate the CSS3 transitions when support is not available, and I've already sent the updated version to Chris at Lybrary.com. As soon as he posts the update, you should get an e-mail that it's available. If anyone finds any other problems with the apps (or the videos or PDFs, for that matter), please let me know here! From what I understand, the built-in WP7 browser will support CSS3 before the end of the year, so when that does happen the transitions should be viewable on your Windows Phone. |

Hi
Am now at 6 days and averaging 5-7 seconds so very near to my 5 second goal. The 5 seconds are really now just auto-recall the 7 seconds are the ones where I am still having to think a little bit This does pose a question for me - If I have 3 that I know I am 'struggling' (and I use that in the lightest sense) with, at this stage, should I look at a new Mnemonic, or should I stick with what I have gone with and push through? Respect to all Steve

I am at about 10 sec to find the correct day for a precise date. For instance, they say me "May 19, 1347", and I need about 10 sec to say "friday".

The Gregorian Calendar is not a proleptic one. On October 15th 1582 Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian calendar. October 4, 1582 of the Julian calendar was followed by October 15 in the new calendar. The Gregorian calendar was adopted on 14 September 1752 in Britain and the British Empire (including parts of the later United States).
May 19 1347 was a Saturday regardless of which christian country. |

Let's say you know that March 7 is a friday, and you need to answer for March, 18, how do you do that quickly? It's here that I loose some time I think (14 is a friday too, sat 15, sun 16, mon 17 and Tuesday 18: which takes me about one sec to do)...

Hi Dorian
I think it's just down to the speed that I do the mental math at. If it's faster I also go past and backwards so in the example that you give if I know that 7 is a Friday and I want the 18 I KNOW that 21 is a Friday and go backwards to 18 - This is one step less than your counting up - one step could be 1/2 a second in this case. How I know to go below and count up or go past and count back I'm not sure and I put this down to gut instinct. The other thing that I think that I do isn't related to my effort learning this effect, it is something that I have done since I was a kid and I now do with my kids which is 'Day Maths'. So in my head Monday = 1, Tuesday = 2 etc. I am always asking my kids What does Monday + Wednesday + Saturday - Tuesday come to? They answer "8" BUT we also ask questions like what is Friday + Tuesday - 3 + Sunday - 5 = 6 So in my world (or my head) if the Doomsday date of 7 = Friday therefore 21 INSTANTLY = Friday - 3 (to get to 18) INSTANTLY = Tuesday. Because doing "Day Math" I know that Friday - 3 = Tuesday. Hope that this helps. Respect to all Steve
