The two algorithms, worked for 2077

Western: the Anonymous Gregorian algorithm
a=6 b=20 c=77 d=5 e=0 f=1 g=6 h=18 i=19 k=1 l=2 m=0
h + l − 7m + 114 = 134, and 134 ÷ 31 = 4 remainder 10: month 4, day 10 + 1. April 11
Orthodox: Meeus’s Julian algorithm
a=1 b=5 c=6 d=9 e=5
d + e + 114 = 128, and 128 ÷ 31 = 4 remainder 4: Julian April 5. Plus 13 days: April 18
