The measurement of the passage of time is of particular relevance and interest to all people as a way of keeping track of seasonal cycles and the passing of days.
By playing Dateless the player uses mathematical clues in order to eliminate the impossible dates and identify the exact date of an event in Sir Plus’ life. The player draws on their general mathematical knowledge of number sequence, Roman numerals, factors, multiples, prime and composite numbers to identify the date as well as using their understanding of ordinal number patterns, the relationship between days, weeks and months and the setting out of calendars.
