I had an hour-long debate with coworkers about the International Fixed Calendar (Sol Calendar). There are so many benefits! I particularly like that every 1st of every month is a Sunday, every 2nd of every month is a Tuesday, etc. No more "What day or date does _____ holiday fall on _this_ year?"



What you're saying is apparently true for the International Fixed Calendar, but not the Sol Calendar. According to [1], the first (and second and third...) of every month in any given year is the same day of the week, but the mapping changes every year.

Heh! I am the author of that particular calendar. That was long ago. The original is on my website along with a Lunar-Sol calendar...


The International Fixed Calendar may start every 1st on a Sunday but the European Fixed Calendar will probably make each 1st a Monday. Agreeing on things is hard.


Can you imagine having your birthday on a Tuesday, every year, for the rest of your life ??
