The excel is good ... but some tricky excel date things coming into play .... for reasons described <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_(reference_date)" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Excel uses a Julian calendar before the excel epoch of 31st decemeber 1899, which throws the correlation out a bit! I had a problem very similar to this in a very hard maths comp. 20 years ago .... triggered old memories of coming up with a solution :) Interesting stuff…

Is there a list of yearcodes for say 1950-2007. I have calculated all of them using the yearcode formula, but I want to make sure I'm correct......... Pretty neat stuff!

Honestly, at first I was a little scared when I saw a wall of numbers looking back on me. I was wondering where did I just go? This is neat..I'll have to share it with my husband. Wow, this is cool.

I'm going to show it to my wife so she can use it in the classroom for gifted kids. I’ll honestly admit I’m not going to memorize the tactic…but I’d never seen this described before.
