In which she makes a calendar

[zeborah]

I came across The World's Smallest Calendar today, which is awesome, and I think it'd be cool to have on the back of the Moo cards I've been hypothetically pondering for a while but could never think what to put on the back of.

Problem is that there's no chance I'd use them all up in a single calendar year. So I spent the evening creating this, which should last until 2099. Oh, except for the Easters.

Questions:
1. How many instructions does it need to be useful to anyone other than me?
2. There's no way that's fitting on a Moo card, is there?

(I've got a tab-delimited file of just the text if anyone wants it.)

Yes, I want it, so I can make one with proper Orthodox Easter dates. I won't know how many instructions I'll need until I've actually tried to use it. Seeing that I correctly calculated that my next birthday falls on a Thursday and my 60th birthday on a Sunday, I suppose none (though there might be a way to do it quicker than counting on my fingers from A).

It does fit on the back of a Moo card, of course, but you'd need very sharp eyes and/or a magnifying glass.

Took me a long time to decipher that. The key was to realize that it wsn't "A Easter" labeling two rows simultaneously, but that the "A"s were labeling their own rows, and the "Easter"s were labeling others. Before that, I was quite confused by the "A"s and "M"s in the Easter columns too ("you don't have any Ms in your months!").
