🏛️📆 By 46 BCE, #Rome’s calendar had drifted so badly that #spring festivals happened in what should have been #winter. Priest-politicians had manipulated the system for centuries, adding or skipping months to benefit allies.
Julius Caesar added 90 days to the year – making it 445 days total – then scrapped the old lunar system for a #solar calendar. The Julian calendar became the foundation of the one we use today, though Roman priests immediately botched the leap-year rules after Caesar’s assassination.

The Longest Year in History Lasted 445 Days Because Rome’s Calendar Had Completely Fallen Apart
They call it the "Year of Confusion."Mihai Andrei (ZME Science)
As trivial as this problem is, in my experience, calculus of fractions is exactly the point where many people lose touch with math and numbers.
And one of the reasons for people's minds shutting down is the absurdity of such problems' phrasing:
They pretend to be "real world" problems, whilst in reality, they are not.
People feel cheated, pulled their legs and say (rightfully): "All this is crap"

There's been a buzz - mostly from Tech Bros - about AI getting gold medals in the International #Mathematics Olympiad, including a remark "Now this *is* impressive". No it isn't, here's why...
TL;DR computers aren't human. Shocking, I know. 😂 The standards are established based on what's reasonable for humans to achieve in #Maths. Humans have limited ability to think, and fallible memory. In contrast computers have vast amounts of processing power and infallible memory...
@seism0saurus Hey 😀 I noticed that @hourlyhectoc makes the #math hashtag quite hard to follow. Would you consider removing that hashtag from the bot's posts? An alternative could be to make the bot advertise the game under #math every once in a while. Thanks for your consideration!
