Originally posted by Phlabibit2001 was the first year of the new millenium, but your first question is too vague. The most consecutive years after year 1 CE with each year containing at least one 9 is the span from 889-999 or 1889-1999. Prior 1 CE the answer is unknown, it depends on where you start counting backwards.
How many consecutive years had a 9 in it before the new millennium, and what was the first year of the new milenium?

It was 2000 - I can remember celebrating it in Slough
At the end of year One... One year had past... so at the end of 2000, 2000 years had past. At the end of 1999, 1999 years had past... not 2000. So it was not the new millennium yet.
