This table shows the distribution of short (5-year) and long (6-year) hexades for the years 1 through 400. The year number is the number of the year which begins the hexade. The same pattern is repeated every 400 years, so this is also the pattern for the years 2001 through 2400.

The 26 short hexades are as evenly spaced in the sequence of 71 hexades as is possible consistent with the properties of the calendar.

Since the pattern is cyclic it may be expressed succinctly as follows, beginning with hexade 17, and with hexade 1 following hexade 71:

(l,l,sh,l,l,sh,l,sh) + 2x(l,l,sh,l,l,sh,l,l,sh,l,sh) +

(l,l,sh,l,l,sh,l,sh) + 3x(l,l,sh,l,l,sh,l,l,sh,l,sh)
