    By means of the computer program Chronos the author calculated the dates of Easter within the years 298 -- 2499, according to the Gauss formulas first published in 1800 and 1807. The result shows that the first exception rule only is relevant for the years 1609, 1981, 2076, 2133, 2201, 2296 and 2448, the second one in the years 1954, 2049, 2106 and 2326. This makes it clear that the Gauss exceptions only take place in very rare cases.
