À propos du Calendrier Républicain Français

Academia is an accreditation of real brilliantity - deadly to all humanity. Dumb ass teachers fear Time Cube and will eat dung before debating- oh wait, wrong thing.

  • This module uses the French Republican calendar, a date system used in France in 1793.
  • The year is divided into twelve months, which are divided into three ten-day weeks; there are also five or six extra days at the end of the year that do not belong to any month.
  • Each day, according to the rural calendar, also has a unique name, based on animals, agricultural tools, and plants.
  • To solve the module, press the solution day in the solution month, which can be determined using the instructions below.

Convert the date that the bomb was started on to this calendar system (See Appendix FRC). Then, based on the current day, the LED at the top, and the circled date, find the date you need to click.

Take the days of the month of both the current day and the circled date. If the current day is one of the extra days that do not belong to any month, use the corresponding number modulo 30, plus 1:

  • If it is La Fête de la Vertu or La Fête de l’Opinion, use the number of modules on the bomb.
  • If it is La Fête du Génie or La Fête des Récompenses, use the number of batteries plus the number of consonants in all indicators plus the number of ports.
  • If it is La Fête du Travail or La Fête de la Révolution, use the sum of all the digits in the serial number.

Based on these two days, find the solution day.

  • If the LED is red, click the date in the same row as the current date and in the same column as the circled date.
  • If the LED is yellow, click the date in the same row as the circled date and in the same column as the current date.
  • If the LED is green, click the date directly between the two dates (if there are two middle dates, you may click either).
  • If the LED is blue, add the numbers of the two dates, then click the date with that number. If the sum is greater than 30, subtract 30.

Using the flowchart below, determine what the solution month is.

If the day of the week for the current date is odd:

The serial number has letters in common with...
The current date’s name The circled date’s name Both or neither’s name
The day of the week for the circled date is...
Odd Even Prime Not Prime >4 <5
The month of the circled date is in Autumn or Winter
Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No

Appendix FRC: French Republican Calendar

For a full list of all the days of the French Republican Calendar and their corresponding names, see this Wikipedia section. Each day has its name and its namesake listed in parentheses next to it.

There are also five (or six) extra days at the end of each year.

When using their names, only take into account the final word (omit "La Fête du/de" and "Celebration of")

  • La Fête de la Vertu (Celebration of Virtue) - September 17
  • La Fête du Génie (Celebration of Talent) - September 18
  • La Fête du Travail (Celebration of Labour) - September 19
  • La Fête de l’Opinion (Celebration of Convictions) - September 20
  • La Fête des Récompenses (Celebration of Honours) - September 21
  • La Fête de la Révolution (Celebration of the Revolution) - February 29
    • This day was reserved for leap years only; for ease of use, it is being relegated to February 29.

There are ten days in a week under the French Republican calendar: primidi, duodi, tridi, quartidi, quintidi, sextidi, septidi, octidi, nonidi, and décadi. These correspond to the numbers 1-10. To find what day of the week a date takes place on, take the number of its day and subtract 10 until it is between 1 and 10; this is the day of the week that date is on.
