Conundrum.

Ah, O.K. I thought it was "all shall be well" being said to Julian of Norwich by the 'Big Guy', hence my reply. I'm glad that's sorted
 
@ socrates. But Wikiwatsit says
in 1933 Time magazine called him "a cat that walks by himself, tenaciously unhousebroken and very unsafe for children"

So close ;=)
 
If you take 823 from 2012 you get 1189. In July 1189 Richard I came to the throne. Before that time is defined as Time Immemorial.

This wasn't the conundrum.
 
That doesn't mean I know why 823 has anything to do with it. The limited info I have from the news in the last couple of weeks is that the Mayan calendar cycles build up so that each successive cycle is longer than the last (like a factorial). Thus the "event" would not be every 823 years, and the way days are counted would not necessarily result in it always falling in December.

I'll give you my own conundrum: which day of the week is the 13th of the month most likely to fall on?
 
Try Googling if you like, I'm not sure anything less than Wolfram Alpha will come up with the answer.
