Date Calculation Formula

H=hour in GMT time
M=minute in GMT time
D=# of days in teh current month (11/1 was Jan. 1400)

Date=D*(H+(M/60)-6)/24
Be sure to always round up.
If the result is negative, add D and it is the previous month still.

[Lord Zalzabad]

Ok, at 10:14 i entered the numbers into your equasion
D=4
H=10
m=14

and I get

0.705555555555 and so on.

can anyone help me decipher this into days, years, and months, please?

(or is it 17/24? Im confused)

[civman2000]

D is not the day #. D is the number of days in the current month. FOr example, on dayy 4, which would be april, D=30. Also, be sure that the H you use is GMT.

[Lord Zalzabad]

Ok, then, so using the numbers
D=30
H=10
M=13,

it comes out to be the 14th of April, correct?
Thanks for that!

[civman2000]

No it comes out to be the 7th. REmember, H is in GMT. If you use any other time, you must eithre convert it to GMT first or change teh "-6" in the formula to the difference between your time and US Central Time.

Other Palaces: Irdhipal Palace, Edird City; Weinminhipal, Woewein; Komorhaka Palace, Trikomore.

His father was the late Moderator Kivinonka IV. He is the 9th Moderator of the Apoheiwomid Dynasty. All of the previous Apoheiwomid Moderators have died natural deaths, so civman is somewhat lax in security against assassination, vaguely believing that he is in the Gods' favor and they will protect him.
