   Apr 26, 2020 · For example, if YY=63 then A=5, B=3, C=0 and the year code is 5+3+0 = 1 (modulo 7), and if YY=16 then A=1, B=4, C=1 and the year code is 1+4+1 = 6 (modulo 7). Mike Walters’s “Easy Doomsday” method: If YY is not already a multiple of 4, add 11, 22, or 33 according to whether YY modulo 4 is 1, 2, or 3. Now divide by 2, take the result ...

   What is a doomsday equation?

   • If this is a population model, this is called doomsday! (3y2 − 5)dy = (4 − 2x)dx. This is a solution to our differential equation, but we cannot readily solve this equation for y in terms of x. So, our solution to this differential equation must be implicit. 1Note that we’re playing a little fast and loose with the unknown constant C here.

   How to use doomsday device to calculate day of the week?

   • In order to show you how to use your Doomsday Device to calculate the day of the week of any given date, let us first try a simple worked example: Rotate the slotted discs to expose three numbers that add up to the year, 2134. That is, 2100 + 24 + 10. Other numbers might appear in two of the slots. They can be ignored.

   What is the Doomsday argument?

   • The Doomsday Argument is a thought-provoking idea that tries to guess when humans might no longer exist based on math and the idea that we are probably not living in a very special time in human history. It’s like trying to figure out when a party will end based on knowing that you arrived at a pretty average time—not too early, not too late.

   What is the Doomsday algorithm?

   • Conway sought out to create an algorithm that was relatively easy and simple enough for people to learn and use on their own. His method was popularized nearly a century later in 1973. The Doomsday Algorithm takes advantage of the fact that our current calendar system, the Gregorian Calendar, repeats every 400 years.

   What are 'Doomsdays'?

   • Conway noticed that each year, there were certain dates that always fell on the same day of the week, which he called “Doomsdays” (DDs. For example, in 2021, October 10th, November 7th, and December 12th, all fell on a Sunday (full list on Table 1).
