The Order of The Days
The days of the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 day weeks are arranged in simple recurring cycles - much like the seven days of the week in the Gregorian calendar. Because 210 is not divisible by 4, 8, or 9, extra days must be added to the 4, 8, and 9 day weeks. For both the 4 and 8 day weeks the penultimate day of the week is repeated twice in the week that would have otherwise ended on the 72nd day. For the 9 day week the first day of the week is repeated 3 times in the first week of the 210 day Pawukon. The complexity of the calendar is increased by the calculations required to determine the arrangement of the days of the 1, 2, and 10 day weeks which are not ordered in simple recurring 1, 2 and 10 day cycles as one might expect.

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or days:
“It does not follow, because our difficulties are stupendous, because there are some souls timorous enough to doubt the validity and effectiveness of our ideals and our system, that we must turn to a state controlled or state directed social or economic system in order to cure our troubles.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“So, when my days of impotence approach,
And I’m by pox and wine’s unlucky chance
Forced from the pleasing billows of debauch
On the dull shore of lazy temperance,
My pains at least some respite shall afford
While I behold the battles you maintain
When fleets of glasses sail about the board,
From whose broadsides volleys of wit shall rain.”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
