start with 5th March. the early suggestion of end of Feb more of a 'finger in the air' estimate.

Also, I worked on the simple assumption that there are 365.25 days per year.

so....
15000 / 365.25 = 41.??? year.

Enough to give us the year.

Subtract 41 and multiply by 365.25 to give us our offset (from March 5th) in days. Should give you a specific date.

oh, the correct date is in that list vtw.

Looks like you rounded 24.75 the wrong way.
