Random Test #1

[Larien Melwasúl]

I figured it was time to start having some contests. So...this is the first one! They won't all be like this, but this is just one of the kinds. It's a bunch of random questions. You don't have to do this, but you will get karma if you win.

If you have all of the answers, some of the answers, or even one of the answers, pm me what you have. And whoever has the most right, they will get the karma.

How many days before 17th August is it, if 50 days ago, it was four times as many days since March 30th?
18 days: 30th July. 17 August - 18 days = 30 July. 30 July - 50 days = 10 June. 10 June - 30 March = 72 days, which equals 4 x 18. QED
