Abstract
IN your issue of April 5 an empirical formula is given for determining the date on which Easter falls in any year from 1900 to 2100. Having tried the formula for certain years within the limits stated, I find that it fails in the case of 1954. For that year it gives April 25, whereas the correct date is April 18. Perhaps some of your correspondents may be able to explain the cause of the discrepancy.
