	what calendar are you using on this?

	Good idea for a quiz. It doesnt have to be dead on the year to have validity. Do the Hindus and Buddhists not have a beginning year?

	@JakeA: normally the calendar doesn't matter; for example, the Jewish calendar has years as short as 353 days and as long as 385, but on the long run the length of the year is compensated and when for the Jewish calendar 80 years have elapsed, it's the same for our calendar (Gregorian). The only exception is the Islamic calendar, in which the years are always shorter (354 or 355 days). A Muslim that celebrates his 80th birthday (by his own calendar) really has lived less than 78 of our years.

	@chriskotx: I don't know about the Buddhists, but the Hindus have used many different eras. The one I listed (Saka) is the commonly used now in India along with the Christian era. But the Hindus have invented huge chronological cycles, like the kalpa (4,320,000,000 years). There is even a calculation according to which the current kalpa began in the year 1,972,947,102 BC. Of course all these figures are only theoretical; for practical purposes, it's easier to say that we live in the year 1932 (by the Saka era) than in the year 1,972,949,113 of the current kalpa.

	@dancastro: If the Mayan calendar were included, and if we believe what the Chicken Littles are saying about it, then you wouldn't have to worry about updating this quiz 2 years from now.

	@BombaySapphire: it's highly doubtful that the Mayans could predict the end of the world. They couldn't even predict the end of their own civilization.
