That would only give you a 48 week year Paul, you have to divide by 52 to get the number of years. It's 1 year and 47 weeks and a couple of days.

Sorry Bendy - I hadn't seen your reply. It's true though, if you want to know the day, you have to know whether it's a leap year don't you? Is this a serious homework question? Chrissie

I was so c**p at those questions at school. I used to get the answers.........eventually, but could never show how I'd got it. I had a wonderful maths teacher who showed me again, and again, and again...............still cant do it. Funnily enough I've never found the need to know how long it will take to fill a bath,if the water is going in ....and running out, at different speeds!!!! I mean WHO really cares? Deanna BUT..............Do your homework!!
