Heh the first one most likely. Since the first decade had 9 years (1-9), the
first century had 99 years (1-99), then it would follow that the first
century had 999 (1-999). Just think about how arbitrary a "year" is. What
makes this year 1999? Nothing in particular except that we as a culture
decided it was. What makes a millennium?
