If the Calendar were based on a 500 Day Year, the effect would be for the season
to appear in different months on successive years. Since people, such as farmers
count on the seasons (and Calendar) for planting and harvesting, this would be a
problem. Also, the holidays would move around within the seasons. Christmas
would sometimes be in the Spring, Summer, or Fall!

On the other hand, if the Earth rotated ... and the sun rose and set ... 500 times
in the space of a year, then ...
-- Each day/night cycle would be about the length of what we call 17hours 32minutes
on the clocks we use now. (Of course, we would use different clocks.)
-- Over the course of the year, the periods of daylight and darkness would average
about 9 hours each.
-- Each season ... Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter ... would comprise about 125 days.
-- The moon would rise and set about 36 minutes earlier each day than it did the
day before, (rather than the present average of about 48 minutes per day).
-- About 40 days would elapse during each complete cycle of moon phases (vs 29.5).
-- High and low tides would alternate with about 41/2 hours between extremes (vs 6.2).
The peak tidal amplitudes might be smaller, since the water mass would have less time
to flow from one extreme to the other.
-- Weather would be markedly different, in a number of ways too complicated for me
to pin down easily. The Coriolis forces, responsible for the jet stream, for the rotation
of pressure cells, and for frontal motion, result from Earth's rotation, and would be
stronger. Geographic variations in climate might be less extreme, both because the
solar heating/cooling cycle at every point would be shorter, and also because the
distribution of heat from the tropics to the poles would be more energetic.
-- The Earth would bulge more at the equator than it does now, because its rotation
would be about 37% faster than it is now. For the same reason, the difference in
your weight between your home in the outer temperate zones and at the equator
might be enough to notice. Between the apparent weight loss and the moderation
of climate extremes, tropical vacationing might be more popular than it is now ...
and with the 37% shorter days, sunburn would be less of a concern.
182500 days.
1.36893 years. Since 1 year is 365.25 days on average, just divide 500 / 365.25 = 1.36893
1996 was a leap year, so February had 29 days.
If you increase 500 daily by 50 it would be 33000 in 60 days.
1 year 8 months and 10 days, roughly.

500 years is about 182,622.5 days.
182,500 for 365 days or 183,000 for a leap year.
It would take 200 days to get to 100,000. To find this, divide the goal (100,000) by the amount per day (500) to find the number of days (200).
Served 30 days in jail and received $500 fine is what I heard.
