<poem>
(i) According to the reckoning by the Trees
12 hours (a full flowering of both Trees) = 1 day
1000 days (12,000 hours) = 1 year
100 years = 1 age of the Valar
''(ii) Relation of the reckoning by the Trees to the reckoning by the Sun''
1 hour of the Trees = 7 hours of our time
1 day of the Trees = (7 x 12) 84 hours of our time
1 year of the Trees = (7 x 12,000) 84,000 hours of our time
There are (365.25 x 24) 8766 hours in a Sun Year, and thus:
1 year of the Trees = (84,000 / 8766) 9 years, 212 days, 18 hours of the Sun
''(iii) Original intention of the Valar for the new reckoning by the Sun and Moon''
12 hours of moonlight + 12 hours of sunlight = 24 hours = 1 full day
700 times of sunlight and moonlight = 350 full days = 1 Sun Year
1 hour = 1/7 of 1 hour of the Trees
Therefore:
1 Sun Year would have (24 x 350) 8400 hours = (8400 / 7) 1200 hours of the Trees = 1/10 of a Valian Year (see (i) above); thus 1 Valian Year would = 10 Sun Years
The matter can be expressed more concisely thus:
1 year of the Trees = (7 x 12,000) 84,000 hours of our time
84,000 / (350 x 24) 8400 = 10
but
84,000 / (365.25 x 24) 8766 = 9.582
''(iv) The dates of the first flowering of the Trees and the first rising of the Moon''
The Trees first flowered after 3500 Valian Years had passed, or 33,530 Sun Years.  The Moon first rose after 5000 Valian Years had passed, or 47,901 Sun Years.  The Trees shone for 1495 Valian Years, or 14,322 Sun Years.
