Easy. No matter how narrow you slice the first time tick, whether it be
melinium, century,year, month, day, hour, minute, second, (and whatever
comes next [not parsec - that's a measure of distance, Hans Solo] The
first ONE is just that, 1 [one, uno, etc...].  If you wish to choose the
supposed birth of Christ as the dividing line in measuring centuries it
gets pretty rediculous to divide it down to a gnat's hair difference.
