Take away the uncertainty. Find a routine that is easy to follow and has little controversy in calculating Easter for a small period of time around ''now''. Quote the routine in the task description, and have the task be to calculate a less controversial number of Easters around now. You could point to external arguments about dates of Easter for the interested, but meaanwhile you would get a task that aids programming [[wp:chrestomathy|chrestomathy]].
:Good idea, especially if you specify the Gregorian Calendar and Catholic rules (i.e., no ambiguity from calendars or religious denominations). –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 22:30, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
::All of the easter holiday rules are catholic rules. But some of the dates required by the current task are dates when older versions of the rules were the "officially accepted versions". I would recommend, in addition to specifying the current catholic rules and the gregorian calendar, that we also change the task's example to use years from 1990 through 2020. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 17:00, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
