Different people have different mnemonics -- some may go so far as to
memorize the anno societatis. I calculate A.S. quickly since 2000 as
last two digits of year plus 35,
and if the month is January-April, minus one.
E.g., 1 April 2006 was
06 + 35 - 1 = A.S. 40
3 May 2006 will be
06 + 35 = A.S. 41
(For all years since the First Party, the formula is
current year minus 1965,
and if the month is January-April, minus one more.
