| 435365 | 2006-03-05 01:05:00 | Oh dear. :( 42 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Answer_to_Life,_the_Universe,_and_Everything)! | Graham L (2) | ||
| 435366 | 2006-03-05 01:55:00 | did that, it gave answer as 31? which answer is more correct? as i dont want to be 1 day wrong?31 is the correct answer. Using the days360 method you won't get the correct answer (but it'll usually be close) as it's based on 12 months of 30 days (360 days total)... but there are not 12 months of 30 days; 7 months have 31 days, 4 months have 30 days, and February has either 28 or 29. So in other words, the b2-a2 method will be more accurate in this case. Cheers, Mike. |

I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is." ... |
