This is the start of a search for a team to win the ACM finals sometime next February. The purpose of this request is this: I have heard that the Orthodox Church stil use the Julian Calendar, at least for Liturgical purposes. This means they are currently 13 days behind us, and will remain so until 2100, when the will become 14 days behind us. They also use a slightly different algorithm for determining the date of Easter. This is usually on a different day to the 'Western' churches, but sometimes thay occur at the same time. I wish to set a problem involving all this, but I need details. Can anyone supply them? Replies directly to me please, I have wasted enough bandwidth on the net as it is. Thanx.
