Perpetual Calendar

I have come across a few versions of this before and decided it ought to be simple enough to make. We got some wood, cut it into 3 cubes. One cube is used for the months of the year and the other two for the dates of the month (hint: the six doubles up as the nine!). We painted the blocks white and then using a black POSCA pen, we added the typography. A great 'look at my cool office' sort of gift.

  1. I'm still a little confused about the last block on the right - it has six sides, so you would fit the digits 0-5 on it, right? What about 6-9?? Maybe I'm just overlooking something really obvious! Thanks!

  2. Yeah I got quite confused when I was trying to work out how it worked. The first number dice has the digits, 012345 and the second one has the digits 012678. The 6 is also used as the 9. Hope that makes sense!
