Has anyone here heard of Dominical letters? They're letters determined on the first Sunday of January of each year. In 2009, we have a Dominical Letter of D, because the first Sunday of January was the 4th.

That's sort of confusing to me...
Why is the letter D?
Why is the letter D?
I think
A= jan1st (a sunday)
B= jan2nd (a sunday)
C= jan3rd (a sunday)
D= jan 4th (a sunday)
Right?
A= jan1st (a sunday)
B= jan2nd (a sunday)
C= jan3rd (a sunday)
D= jan 4th (a sunday)
Right?
That's correct. Except in a Leap Year, you use 2 letters.yoshi13 said:
What does that look like?vipsoccermaster said:
Well, let's take a look at 2012. That year will have January 1 on a Sunday, which is A, but because of a leap year, it would look like the year that January 7 is a Sunday. So you use AG for 2012. Then in 2013, it would be F.yoshi13 said:
Oh. I think I get it. That's interesting
