4.If you birthday is gone add 1755, if not add 1754

What do you mean by this?


It means the difference of the final number being right or wrong

If your birthday has already been this year, add 1755, if it is in the remainder of november, or in december, add 1754

Who told you to suppress the leading zero?

[hugoagogo]

What leading zero? Are you supposed to put a zero before whole numbers now?
