Well, I remembered that Mickey and Remy started dating in the Fall of 2017. I used this calculator to get a rough estimate of the number of days since the lads started dating. It was 1332 days, give or take. https://www.calendardate.com/calculator.htm? 1332 ÷ 365 = 3.6 years. 2 1

In the time it would take me to use a calculator, I would have just worked something out like this in my head: Fall of 2017 to Spring of 2021 equals 3 and a half years (give or take) One year is approximately 360 days (give or take) 3 times 360 days equals 1080 days Half of 360 days is 180 days 1080 days plus 180 days equals 1260 days (give or take) Close enough to your 1332... Calculator, schmalculator! 4
Marty Posted April 25, 2021 Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) There's a really useful thing you can do with Microsoft Excel to find the number of days between two dates. Just enter the two dates into separate cells, and then in another cell just subtract the two cells the dates are in. Excel automatically converts the answer to days. It's better to subtract the later date from the earlier one, otherwise you'll finish up with a negative number of days. So, as you can see, yours truly is 26,896 days old today. (I think I'll stick with saying I'm 73 - doesn't make me sound quite as old.) Edited April 25, 2021 by Marty Tidying up 4

Calculator, schmalculator! Yes but there are 365 days in a normal year plus an extra for the leap year in 2020 so you shorted your count by a minimum of 18 days. You might want those 18 days at some point down the road. Additionally, we're discussing to young lads for whom those 3+ years are a slightly less than a fifth of their lives. Oh, and can I borrow £1332, I'll gladly repay you £1260. 4

But you can thank a fellow American born on this day in 1900, for knowing it was 5.0.... NATIONAL RICHTER SCALE DAY National Richter Scale Day on April 26th each year honors the birth of the Richter Scale inventor, Charles F. Richter (April 26, 1900 – September 30, 1985). Richter was an American seismologist and physicist most famous as the inventor of the Richter magnitude scale, which quantified the size of earthquakes. While working at the California Institute of Technology, with Beno Gutenberg, Richter first used the scale in 1935. After publishing the Richter Scale in 1935, it immediately became the standard measure of earthquake intensity. Source: https://nationaldaycalendar.com/days-2/national-richter-scale-day-april-26/ 3
