This is the 12th issue and it started in 1980.

It’s funny in which way the bot kinda doesn’t work in this specific example, where the boring numbers are the main attraction and the actual content of the paper is not that relevant (to me at least).

But how would it be the 12th?

1980,1984,1988,1992,1996

2004,2008,2012,2016,2020

2024

That's only 11

Edit: Im wrong, 2000 was a leap year

2000 was a leap year because it was divisible by 400 even though years divisible by 100 are not leap years.
