Counting Anniversaries

455 viewsMathematicsOther

The Kannapolis Cannonballlers (milb team) are celebrating their 30th year, but they started in 1995. 2024 – 1995 = 29, not 30. Sometimes they say it’s their 30th year, other times they say it’s their 30th anniversary, but I think those are different things. My first wedding anniversary was a year after my marriage, but idk if they’re counting the beginning or end of their season, but I still think they’re off by (at least) one. Am I crazy?

P.S. FWIW, Were currently in the middle of the season

The end year counts as a season.

If you got married on Christmas of 2020, then your fourth anniversary, 2024, will be your fifth Christmas together (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024).

Sometimes you count both endpoints, sometimes you count 5he years in between. That’s the difference.
