  1. I am assuming you are basing your century dates from Jesus' birth. How unfortunate:

    First Century: 0-99

    Second Century: 100-199

    Third Century: 200-299

    etc etc

    Tenth Century: 900-999

    Eleventh Century: 1000-1099

    Twelfth Century: 1100-1199

    etc etc

    Nineteenth Century: 1800-1899

    Twentieth Century: 1900-1999

    Twenty-First Century: 2000-2099

  3. Ignore the cretins with their year zero and 99-year first century.

    There is no year zero.

    First century: 1-100

    Second century: 101-200, and so on.

  4. the first century was 1 to 99 ad, the second was 100 to 199 ad, the 3rd was 200 to 299 ad, and so on, for example the 1900s was the 20th century

  5. This is an age old argument that resurfaced at the time of the Millennuim celebrations 1999-2000.  The traditionalists felt that celebrations should be left until the end of the 20th century (in the year 2000) as the old Millennium ended with 2000 and the new Millennium commenced 01/01/2001.  However the majority of the general public deemed the Millennum to end on 31/12/1999 so the traditionalists view point fell by the wayside.  

    So, traditionally centuries run from 01 to 00 eg 1901-2000, 2001-2100.

    I expect though this tradition will change with time and that's probably for the better.

  6. are you serious???

    1th century: year 1-99

    2nd century: year 100-199

    3rd century: year 200-299

    4th century: 300-399

    5th century: 400-499

    6th century: 500-599

    See any patterns in this?
