    I guess I should have specified that centuries are zero indexed. Like we’re in the 21st century, but the year is 2024. The 1900’s were the 20th century, etc…

      Maybe I’ve misunderstood what “zero indexed” means, but I didn’t think centuries were either. Didn’t we go from the 1st century BCE straight to the 1st century CE? I don’t think there was a zeroth century, or else we would not have the mismatch of the 1900s being the 20th century, etc.
