general

many dates would be the same

so we'd reduce the total number of unique dates

you could represent all dates as t0 + t

where t0 is the reference time you start at

Holocene calendar is also nice

not as nice as the hololive calendar

so today is 05/11/2020

12020/11/5

plug it into a calculator you get 0.000225022502

oh you mean

how many days would we lose, doing that for all dates

use / as divide

lmao

yeah

isn't that a math expression not equation

or operation

evaluating it is an equation

he is just saying f(a,b,c) = a/b/c where a is day, b is month, c is year

so the question is that if you plug every AD date into that, will it cause any duplicate outputs, and reduce the number of unique dates

it will cause duplicates

^

how many is a harder question

I'm now wondering how many unique numbers we'd even get anymore

I suck at date functions in excel

so are we limiting it from year 0 to current day

jesus christ

yeah sure Pika

someone can just write some code to iterate through every one and count the duplicates

thats the boring solution

but would work

lol

if all months had the same number of days this would be easier to define this function

lol

there's also

leap years

fuck

trust me I am accounting for it

when trying to build this retarded function

we are using

>when you remember leap years were added midway through

okay you know what fuck it I am ignoring leap years, pretending the calendar has always worked the way it has since year 0

those fucking roman emperors fucked everything up

Wouldn’t leap years still be accurate due to how time actually works

is there a way to delegate the days to make every month have the same number of days

since a full year is really 365.25 days

I mean if we do that its trivailly easy

but the question is specifically

using the day/month/year format

we need to maintain the calendar format

or the modern one

What’s the question

how many unique combinations of day divided by (month times year)

if you evaluate the dates, how many duplicate outputs are there

so how many dates are deleted

year 0 is fucked so I am starting at year 1

i think it's hilarious how cruel you guys are being giving pika even more assignments on top of the 2 years worth of assignments he already has kappa4

but isn't year 0 real

year 0 causes the function to diverge

since we are dividing by 0

1 BCE is 0 AD

fuck you

lol

you could just go to 2021

Can’t you just do this for one year

Then multiply by 2020

you mean the universe doesnt explode when you divide by 0?

my spreadsheet keeps crashing

I don't have enough RAM

I am doing analysis on this stupid function for a given year

to narrow it down

lol

hey pika

this might sound stupid

but isnt Dividing by 1 and dividing by 0 the same thing in the end, it does nothing to the number

yes that is stupid

dividing by 1 does nothing

dividing by 0 is not allowed

because it breaks math

maybe math was made ot be broken

my new theory is that the big bang was god self destructing when he attempted to divide by 0
