Solution

Saturday March 29, 2008

885 weeks ago from today was 29 Mar 2008, a Saturday. Anytime we’re subtracting halves of the year, we need to ensure that we’re still in 2025. It looks like 885 weeks from now will bring us back to pre 2024 and we’ll need to factor this into our subtraction because it will change the calendar and fiscal years. For larger calculations like this, I start by subtracting total days, then counting backwards 6195 days on a calendar until getting my solution of Saturday March 29, 2008.

How we calculated 885 weeks before today

All of our day calculators are measured and QA'd by our engineer. Read more about the Git process here. But here's how 885 weeks ago gets calculated on each visit:

  1. We started with date inputs: used current day of 15 Mar, then set the calculation - 885 weeks, and factored in the year 2025
  2. Noted your current time of year: 885 weeks in March will bring us back to February or further.
  3. Counted backwards weeks from current day: date - 15 Mar, factoring in the 15 days left in March to calculate Saturday March 29, 2008
  4. Did NOT factor in workdays: In this calculation, we kept weekend. See below for just workdays or the fiscal calendar

Tips when solving for March 29

  • Current date: 15 Mar
  • Day of the week: Saturday
  • New Date: Saturday March 29, 2008
  • New Date Day of the week: Saturday
  • March is usually not, but sometimes super tricky. Factor in Leap Years and Easter, which falls on varying dates each year, if you need a date in the past.
  • The solution crosses into a different year.
  • Your date will be a weekend. Consider if you only want workdays in your calculation.

Ways to calculate 885 weeks ago

  1. Calculate it: Start with a time ago calculator. 885 weeks is easiest solved on a calculator. For ours, we've already factored in the 15 days in March + all number of days in each month and the number of days in . Simply add your weeks and choose the length of time, then click "calculate". This calculation does not factor in workdays or holidays (see below!).
  2. Use March's calendar: Begin by identifying 15 Mar on a calendar, note that it’s Saturday, and the total days in February (trust me, you’ll need this for smaller calculations) and days until last year (double trust me, you'll need this for larger calculations). From there, count backwards 885 times weeks by weeks, subtracting weeks from until your remainder of weeks is 0.
  3. Use excel: For more complex weeks calculations or if you h8 our site (kidding), I use Excel functions like =TODAY()-885 to get or =WORKDAY(TODAY()), -885, cell:cell) for working weeks.
