Regular Year - 364 days ... 52 7-day weeks     Leap Year - 371 days ... 53 7-day weeks

Halves - 182 / 182 | Quarters - 91 / 91 / 91 / 91

Each week begins on a Monday, ends on a Sunday -- No chance ever of a Friday the 13th !!


Leap Year is 371 days (53 weeks) long with a 7-day "Leap Week" between June 30th and July 1st.
It is any year that ends in "0" or "5", with the following exceptions ...

    (1) Any years ending in "25" or "75"

    (2) Any Century Years divisible by 400 (1600, 2000, 2400, 2800, etc.),
    which of course is the exact opposite of the actual Gregorian system.


In any 400-year period, there are 329 364-day regular years (119,756 days) and 71 371-day
Leap Years (26,341 days).   This makes for a total of 146,097 days (exactly 20,871 7-day
weeks) during the 400-year period.

Remarkably, the figures of 146,097 days and 20,871 weeks are an -EXACT MATCH- to
the days and weeks within any 400-year period of the actual Gregorian Calendar !!!


* Effect of the 4000-Year Rule *
If the proposed 4000-Year Rule (see article) were to be officially adopted, the 364/371 calendar would
handle it as follows --

Millenium Years divisible by 4000 (4000 AD, 8000 AD, 12000 AD, etc.) would still function as per the "Any
Century Years divisible by 400" 364/371 exception rule, and such years would not have Leap Weeks.

The first occurance of a valid Leap Week year after such Millenium Years would be 4005 AD, 8005 AD,
12005 AD, etc. respectively. In such years, Leap Week would have only six days instead of seven,
with Wednesday the 3rd not observed. Leap Week under the 4000-year rule would be as follows ---

Monday the 1st   Tuesday the 2nd   Thursday the 4th   Friday the 5th   Saturday the 6th
Sunday the 7th.

BTW -- On each of these very rare occasions, the normal five-day work week is reduced to four days.
      And since Leap Week is merely one extra week of the year that would occur only so often,
      who's going to complain about losing one day's pay once every 4000 years ???

proposed this particular method of 364/371-day calendar reckoning.
