Christmas X Eve

People often describe the day before Christmas Eve as “Christmas Eve Eve”. This got me thinking that the day before that must be “Christmas Eve Eve Eve”, right? And from this you can describe any day of the year as a certain number of Eves before Christmas eve. However, while writing out 163 Eves is fun it’s quite difficult to when you want to say “the 14th of July”. You can write 163 * Eve to compress it down but, as someone who is fond of the sciences, I thought of how scientists deal with big numbers, by writing them as ‘a * 10^x’ and they even give ‘* 10^x’ a name, like kilo or milli. Great! Now, 163 eves can be compressed to 163 Eves and then more amusingly to 1.63 hecta-Eve! Neat! And here’s a program to do it all for you.
