My world has 6 seasons.
Each season lasts 12 weeks.
A working week has 4 days, followed by a day off.
A season always starts and ends with a day off.
In 2016, due to celebrations, the following working weeks are off:
– 7th of Alpha and 2nd of Gamma for Dione
– 4th of Alpha and 6th of Gamma for Phoebe
– 4th of Delta and 7th of Beta for Rhea
– 1st and 5th of Beta for Tethys
– 3rd of Stigma and 10th of Epsilon for Theia
– 12th of Delta and 9th of Stigma for Themis
Current state: unstable
Looks like we might have our first set of instructions on what to do with those 2016 dates.
I dunno if my brain is ready for math right now, but I imagine once we figure out which dates it wants, we submit them as memory timestamps?
VERY rough conversion based on a pattern for the dates I came up with reading through, could be very wrong. Meant to be the end of the holiday-weeks in our calender.
Quick mapping of the ranges based on this math, Considering:
Start of Year at date 1
5(N-1)+2 through 5(N-1)+5 for working days per week
NOTE: Themis is a non-existant, previously hypothetical moon of Saturn from 1905. Stigma is an old spelling of the Greek Alphabet Sigma, which was discontinued in the 1900s, and Theia is a hypothesized Mars-sized planet which crashed into a primordial Earth during its foundation.
So are the moon names in your chart, the names of the seasons? And alpha/beta etc are the names of the months? Oh I see it now, when it means the 7th or the 4th, it means the 7th or 4th week, not the 7th or 4th of a named month.
I tried to figure out how a season can end and begin with a day off and the best I could come up with is that the first X amount of weeks in a season, the day off is on the first day of the week.
But on the last week of the season the day off would be the last day of the week?
But.. the week ends with a day off… so… Ah, this is confusing
I interpreted it as having an extra off-day inserted at the start for every single month, and a day off at the end of each week. That way we start and end off at an off day, but the only “Exception” is at the start.
Green dates are off days for reference. This kinda breaks the 12-week limit if you dont consider week one as having 6 days, but that’s the closest I could get without writing those days off entirely.
Pretty sure it means 5 day weeks. If we were to describe our own this way, we would say we have a 5 day working week, followed by 2 days off.
6 seasons that last 12 weeks.
That’s 72 weeks x 5 days which equals 360 days.
But then there are off weeks… so I’m not sure how that effects the seasons and where they lie, or even the number of days, this is where doing the math in my head falls off and I will leave it for the graph-savvy pointdexters to figure out
I think these should be ignored when considering the baseline calendar. The holidays are marked for 2016 alone, and don’t seem to affect the construction of the rest.
But does the extra rest day not fall into one of the weeks somehow? Or do the length of weeks suddenly change for this extra rest day? Not all weeks are 5 days? I need my uniformity or my bairn expolde.
This going to be another one of those impossible brain puzzles where we spend days trying to figure dates out and submit memories for the ones that fall on the marked hoidays…
and then the actual solution is just pointing out we no longer call it stigma, “Memory STABLE!”
