I was about to say happy 5769, but then I saw that you had already written it. Well happy Rosh Hashanah anyway.#6: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 25, 2008 [SPOILER]
I guess you have to be Jewish to "get it." Sorry. Please don't feel offended that I don't understand or am not familiar with Jewish things/customs/dates, rituals, etc.#7: Jane Doe (telly) on Sep 30, 2008

I knew the holiday but didn't know the calendar dated back so far. I was guessing then that it starts with the exodus of the Hebrew people out of Egypt, but I was wrong. It's a best estimate of when Adam left Eden. http://articles.latimes.com/1989-09-23/local/me-552_1_jewish-calendar#10: Susan (Susan) on Jun 2, 2017
The article didn't mention Eve. Didn't she leave Eden at the same time as Adam? Nice straightforward solve, Jota. Thanks.
