If we’re golfing, here’s my amateur golf attempt: chuckle

And another four chars gone! Well done! Just goes to show, using
typical Ruby idioms doesn’t always yield (no pun intended) the
shortest code, nor the fastest.
(Are we allowing semicolons?)
Sure, why not. I’ll even allow carriage returns, counting them as one
char.

If the number of digits is less than five, how about this one for Ruby

“2011”.sum(48)%48
Cuuuuute. If we restrict it to years we’ve had so far (CE), okay.

As Aaron pointed yesterday, if the number of digits is less than or
equal to five, the shortest code is
"2011".sum%48
(for some reason it didn’t work for me before). And if the digits are
longer, he has some shortest code for that.
