is there any way in which this could be used in reverse? I don't think so, how would you know wether to use years, months, days? any other patterns creep up in your records?

Actually it was 9 years, 10 months and 11 days (July has 31 days)

The UN first suggested an Oil for Food and Medicines programme for Iraq by adopting UN SCR 706 on 15.8.1991

This followed GHW Bush's Iraq Sanctions Act of 5.11.1990 by 9 months and 11 days.


And isn't that 9 months and 10 days?

Saddam was arraigned and first appeared before an Iraq judge in the dock on 1.7.2004.

911 days later, Saddam was dead.


Technically true I suppose, but he was executed on the 910th day after his hearing.

I work with probabilities all the time, and it is very very easy to find patterns in anything if we look hard enough. Recent history is chock-full of newsworthy moments, and it easy to find any re-occuring numbers in them that you like if you look hard enough. An utter waste of time to do so though, in my opinion.

Thanks for taking the time Alex.

You could say that the elapsed time between the two dates is 9m 10d

You could also say that the interval between the two dates is 9m 9d

You could also say that 15.8.1991 was the 9th month and 11th day from 5.11.1990

Thursday is 3 days after Monday

Thursday is the 4th day of the project that started on Monday

There are two days between Monday and Thursday.

Which one is it ?

Or all three ?


I think the standard way is saying that Thursday is 3 days after Monday.

Well in my opinion there is a standard way of describing their relationship, and it is that Thursday is 3 days after Monday.

The thing about these calculations is that there are literally hundreds of dates around Iraqi history. Now in the relation between these dates you freely admit that you give yourself a number of different chances to express the relationship in a 'meaningful' way. I just think the odds that for some of those dates you are going to find a number that has 911, 119, 11, a 9 and a 1, 3333 or any odd looking number are fairly high. Especially if you give yourself a day or two's grace in terms of describing the relationship.

Indeed. Hard to disagree with any of that.

So, is Thursday the 4th day of the working week or not?


Goodo. I thought you were trying to make something out of those numbers, that's all.

Thursday is definitely the 4th day of the working week.
