Bee-Dub

Hah! John in Kansas forgot to factor the changes in day and year length that will occur over the next 8,559,538 years into his calculations!

It may be assumed, probably safely, that appropriate calendar corrections will be applied by the appropriate time-keepers so that no corrections for said changes in day and year length should be required.

Dumbass Bee-Dub failed to check the arithmetic and point out that 27 posts accounts for only 26 intervals between posts, so the first division was incorrect, producing an error of 3.846% - an intentional trap to see if the arithmetically illiterate would fall for it.

(But the Bee wasn't really the one I expected to have to point it out to.)
