Could it be that the Lost Code of Griff the Original can be found buried under the island!?!

She is born every 4 years?

Thoughts?
Such formula is wrong. Leap years did happen, after all. I am going to test it, of course, because I don't trust your own tests.

Made the test (and some computation).
The number 116444736000000000 is right, The formula is wrong,
369 years * 365 days * 24 hours * 3600 seconds * 10000000 = 116367840000000000
The difference is 89 days (one leap year every 4 years, with the exclusion of 1700, 1800, 1900).

sometimes it gets handy when masking or analyzing parts with big hexadecimal variables. The biggest problem is when you forget to change it back (as I just proved beyond doubt)

Microsoft Calculator Plus - V.1.0 - 2004.
Possibly they still had some C/C++ developers at the time.

I wanted to download from the official MS site... First you have to log in with a MS account, then it was still a problem and couldn't download it, because no device was associated with the account. 
They are doing such a good job... 
I'll get from another place. Anyways... thank you

If I remember well, I didn't download it from Mummy MS. Still it works like a charm.

Julian or Gregorian time?

Gregorian: the first day of the Gregorian calendar was Friday, 15 October 1582 which is before the "start date" of the format.

Simply forget about days, hours and minutes and take the exact length of a year and use that as a basis of your calculation. If you can keep the error small and do the conversion to your time units last, you should get a more accurate result. If you can keep the error small...

Just treat a year as 365.2425 days (365 + 97/400), which is the basis of the Gregorian calendar : accurate to within 1 day in 30000 years. Except that the Earth's day and year are not constant (hence the need of occasional leap seconds [which is why Unix seconds are in the range 0 to 60, not 0 to 59]).
P.S. The Gregorian calendar was under the auspices of Pope Gregory (which one? too lazy to look up!) but actually was the work of a chap called Clavius, who got virtually no recognition for his work. Belatedly, that has been rectified - the largest crater on the far side of the Moon is named after him.

Yes, and in 2001 the guys at our moon base discovered a magnetic annomaly in that crater, which turned out to be an alien monolith device. It was placed there to notify its builders about us reaching the moon and discovering it.
Edit: I was mistaken. The moon base was at Clavius, the monolith was in the crater Tycho.
