This is my new favourite fact. (It takes the number one spot from fruit fly sperm, and that's saying something!)

The shortest time until a repeat year is 6 years (eg 2013 and 2019) and the longest you have to wait for a repeating year is 28 years. universal decision elements in 4-valued logic

It's usually true that 28 years is the longest time between repeating years, but the gap can be 40 years.

2072, which is a leap year, should repeat in 2100. However 2100 is not a leap year even though it's divisible by 4, and 2072 isn't repeated until 2112.

Leap years would be every 4 years if the solar year was exactly 365¼ (365.25) days long. But it isn't: it takes the earth 365.2422 days to go once round the sun. So every now and again a leap year has to be skipped in order to keep the (Gregorian) calendar synchronised with the solar year. Otherwise December 25th Christmas would slowly drift forwards into Spring, then through summer before drifting on into winter again, etc.

The Islamic calendar has 354 or 355 days in each year, which means an annual drift of 10 or 11 days per solar year. So the Hajj, which is on a fixed date in the Islamic calendar, gets 10 or 11 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar.

Here's your cut-out-and-keep sticker to paste onto your 2072 calendar:

This extreme money saving really made me laugh. Think I will look for reduced calenders late in 2013! Thanks for this! Will spread the news.

Wouldn't it be awful if the dog chewed up the 2072 calendar in 2111. I think I'll put mine in the strong-box at the bank. Would someone remind me.

That's nothing this calendar will last you from now until 2799 (and all the way back to 15th Oct 1582)

Print it off and your good to go, though I would probably suggest you laminate it if you plan on still using it in 2799, I see Christmas is a Saturday that year :j

At my age one of the pleasures in life is to get a nice new pristine calendar and at the end of the year tear the last page off and say Yay I've beaten the Grim Reaper for another year :):)
I have seven months to go (June 2013) of remission from breast cancer so to me every extra day is a day nearer the all clear.(Not that I'm counting or anything;))

Well here's hoping that you make it way past 2019 and treat yourself to a new calendar every year!

or, if your calendar's written on, just buy a spare 2013 calendar for a few pennies in the end of the sales:)
