Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted June 23, 2015 Moderators Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) True Fact: William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616 True Fact: Miguel Cervantes died on April 23, 1616 True Fact: The deaths of those two men occurred ten (10) days apart. Please explain. Yes there is a valid explaination for the above which is true. NOTE: I am aware that some historians believe that Miguel Cervantes actually died on April 22, 1616. If so, that would effect a change of one day, from the ten that I have listed. For my purpose, I am not debating whether he died on the 22nd or the 23rd.

Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted June 23, 2015 Author Moderators Posted June 23, 2015 NOTE: He wrote a 161 page book teaching people how to do what you see him doing in the video. In his book, he lists some 30+ books and other material that teach people how to do what he is doing. One of the chapters in his book provided the answer to the question that I raised in the OP.

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted June 23, 2015 Members Posted June 23, 2015 England was on the Julian calendar, and Spain was on the Gregorian calendar...at the point of 23 Apr 1616, England's Julian calendar (for Shakespeare's death) was 10 days behind Spain's Gregorian calendar where Cervantes died. England didn't adopt the Gregorian calendar until 1752..

Outta Here Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Yep. Rudywoofs explained it correctly. Now, here's another logic question: Fact: The school district I grew up in started the school year on the day after Labor Day. Fact: The school year was 180 days long with 2 days built in for "snow days." Fact: We had two full weeks for Christmas Break, and one full week for Spring Break. Fact: While other kids got to celebrate their birthdays with their classmates year after year, I only got to celebrate mine with my classmates three times--and only if it was on a Tuesday. Why? {I changed my profile page so the answer wouldn't be obvious.} Edited June 23, 2015 by Aubrey Stan 1 Quote
Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted June 23, 2015 Author Moderators Posted June 23, 2015 Pam was the one person who I expected to know the answer due to her genealogist work. Stan 1 Quote Gregory
Outta Here Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Really? I can recall studying these calendars both as a Lutheran in Catechism classes, and as a new convert to SDA. It was an important part of understanding that no one changed the Sabbath--that we've been keeping it all along. It was part of the Revelation and Daniel series of Bible studies that our LE shared with us. I assumed most Adventists were aware of the differences in calendars. Naomi and Liz 2 Quote
Administrators Naomi Posted June 23, 2015 Administrators Posted June 23, 2015 Aubrey you was born on a leap year Quote If your dreams are not big enough to scare you, they are not big enough for God
Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted June 23, 2015 Author Moderators Posted June 23, 2015 I suspect that Aubrey was born on a holiday that results in her being out of school on her birthdays, except when there is a leap year. Quote Gregory
Outta Here Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I was not born on a holiday, nor on a leap year. I was born on a Tuesday in 1969. Quote
Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted June 23, 2015 Author Moderators Posted June 23, 2015 O.K. Folks, pay no attention to the profile that says that Aubrey was born on Wednesday, January 1, 1969. Yes, 1969 was not a Leap Year. Quote Gregory
Outta Here Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Hehehe. I said in my clues that I changed it there so it wouldn't be so obvious. Quote
Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted June 23, 2015 Author Moderators Posted June 23, 2015 Yes, I noted that you had said that. But, the question to me was: To what extent had you changed it? Outta Here 1 Quote Gregory
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted June 23, 2015 Members Posted June 23, 2015 Aubrey's birthday would fall on the Tuesdays of 1969, 1975, 1980, 1986, 1997, 2003, and 2014. Next up will be 2025.
