Take DOB + n * 365.25 and then pick whatever day that falls in? That way it shouldn’t drift overall.
Though, I guess it would imply that what day of the year people celebrate on, would be off by one day on leap years compared to what it is on other years?
- iforgotpassword 3y agoThis formula doesn't consider how we sometimes skip leap years, and sometimes have leap seconds, so it's vastly imprecise.
- munch117 3y agoSo make it more precise. DOB + n * 365.2421.

- shzhdbi09gv8ioi 3y ago365.2421 is more correct. Nasa explains: 365 +0.25 - 0.01 + 0.0025 - 0.00025 = 365.24225 https://pumas.nasa.gov/examples/how-many-days-are-year https://pumas.nasa.gov/examples/how-many-days-are-year
- histories 3y ago>Omitting a leap year every 4000 years Wait, is this right? omitting every 100 and adding every 400 should be enough. EDIT: the 4000-year rule is just a proposal for now. So 365.2425 is correct.
- mark-r 3y agoNone of us will live long enough to see the 4000-year rule become a problem. I don't even expect to be around for the next 100-year rule.
