It's simpler, more compact, and reusable from year-to-year in a way that no other calendar is. Here's both how it works and how to use it.

Imagine having to write that many words about this.

Well, the site is called “big think” so it’s safe to assume they overthought all of this

The article is a textbook example on how to overcomplicate things. It's almost like it was in school when you were done with your answer after a few sentences but the teacher demanded at least one written page.

That's almost word for word what I just posted!

I was sort of getting it until I noticed the months are all jumbled up too, they're not in any coherent order or anything. What a mess. It's so over engineered it actually makes me just a tad bit angry.

I know. The picture of the calendar is entirely self-explanatory yet they wrote a thousand words explaining it.
