Here's a cut and paste from Pauling House (boyhood home of Portland
*other* famous Linus).

IDLE 1.1.1
>>> import datetime
>>> me = datetime.date(1952,12,17)
>>> dog = datetime.date(1999, 1,2)
>>> print me + (7 * (dog - me)/6)
2006-09-04

This is the real answer the guy wanted.  Mission accomplished.  No
offer of $5 though.
