Wait, yeah. The first nyear is explicitly defined by Rule 3 as
beginning with the probably-hypothetical nweek 0. So Corvette of
nweeks ending  in 3 is AGSHD. Well, we totally failed to party in
Agora's dishonor. I hope they feel mildly insulted by the oversight.

Fun fact: "nweek" is explicitly defined to be a two-syllable word,
"for all purposes of grammar and syllable-counting." The Revival Era
did not actually revive the aspect of the old rules that made
syllable-counting relevant, so this is dumb, but there you go.

Anyhow, I move to the Piazza.
