This evaluates the number of days since May 31 2006 03:31 UTC, one day before all three phases of the moons were ‘1’:

The constant 1149046260 is obtained via

and 86400 is the number of seconds in one day (discarding leap seconds). The rest of the code takes care of truncating fractional results.

-This evaluates the number of days since the start of June, 2006 - a day which was conveniently "1" on all three phases of the moons:{{moon|1|1|1}}Note that it may be a little bit off, as server time does not appear to line up exactly with KoL time (it appears to be an hour behind - ie this will change an hour after rollover). The server currently believes it to be {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}.
