===The odd plus 11 method=== A simpler method suitable for finding the year's dominical letter was discovered in 2010. It is called the "odd plus 11" method.{{sfn|Fong|Walters|2011}} The procedure accumulates a running total ''T'' as follows: # Let ''T'' be the year's last two digits. #If ''T'' is odd, add 11. #Let ''T'' = {{sfrac|''T''|2}}. #If ''T'' is odd, add 11. #Let ''T'' = ''T'' mod 7. #Count forward ''T'' letters from the century's dominical letter (A, C, E or G see above) to get the year's dominical letter. The formula is :<math> \left( \frac{y+11(y \bmod 2)}{2} + 11 \left(\frac{y+11(y \bmod 2)}{2}\bmod 2\right)\right) \bmod 7.</math>
