I don't know if it is different in different countries, but at least in Denmark the rule is that the week with the first Thursday is week 1. If the 1st of January is Friday through Sunday, this is in week 52 or 53. In 1993 it is week 53, in 1994 it will be week 52. Some printers of calenders in Denmark made the mistake of printing large quantities of calenders with Jan. 1st being in week one. They had to recall these. and sell them with warning labels at much reduced prices. Such an error may have caused the discrepancy between the diaries you have seen. Torben Mogensen (torbenm@diku.dk)
