But he seemed to mean it. Mamet is reading so much (Milton Friedman, Adam Smith, Friedrich Hayek) and writing even more (cartooning for the Huffington Post; blogging from the perspective of the main character in his new Broadway play, November; writing articles for magazines; composing essays about the theater) that he's like an increasingly efficient machine, his efforts all cleanly converted to output...

But in fact, the actual divination of the date is so involved that it has its own offical name: "computus." And so challenging that Carl Friedrich Gauss, one of history's greatest mathematicians, devoted the time to create an algorithm for it. It goes on for many lines. You can look it up.
