Talk:5 GC


 * Extrapolating from the rather crowded dates of 25 GC (and assuming the 6 month reference is salvagable) it has to be assumed that Alex and Rosella's birthdate has to be around 4 months into the year for them to still be 19 during those adventures. If Daventry's Calender is the same as the northern hemisphere Calendar based on the fact that continent of Daventry is above the tropics (I.E. Kolyma), then Alex would have had to have been kidnapped before the September equinox (astronomical summer) to still fall within the summer months. This would mean that the 6 months later quote would have to be an approximate rather than exact timeframe. However there is some possibility that Davantry uses a different Calendar than the one used in the northern hemisphere, so it may have a longer year than on earth, and the seasons may come and go on a different schedule (we know at least that the coming of Spring in kingdoms around Daventry is controlled by Culatha according to King's Quest lore).


 * One should noted that around the world there are other ways to interpret when summer begins and ends based on other factors. Based on meteorological reckoning; southern countries on Earth (I.E. below the equator) have summer from 1 December to 29 February, and in northern hemisphere summer is from 1 June (as early as May in some countries) to 31 August (as early as july in some countries). Other interpretatins may be marked by holidays (I.E. Memorial Day to Labor Day) or by "summer vacations".

Not sure this discussion fits if one takes "summer birthday" info from various summer references in the books into account.Baggins 08:39, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
