About this quiz

A calendar puzzle rather than a memory test. Fix one year you are sure of and count forward or back: one day for an ordinary year, two when a leap day falls in between.

  • The calendar repeats exactly every 400 years, and often after 5, 6 or 11 years.
  • You get two tries on each year.
  • The years run from 2010 to 2035; the full run plays them all.
