Pesah Calendar Stuff Redux

Please refer to this post from 5 years ago where I gave my own unsourced estimation that a Pesah that falls out on a Thursday is not as good of a sign as a Pesah that falls out on a Sunday, Tuesday, or Shabbat.  This has to do, according to my own view, with the order of the Torah readings having a better-sounding meaning.

The chart I brought down there showed how the "drought" of Thursday Pesahs that we were (and still are) in was the longest in a while (10 years).  The chart there spanned 100 years, but I failed to go back further to see when the last time such a long "drought" occurred.

I will now display the chart from 1750 until 2050, and you can see how rare this 10-year "drought" span really is.  The second-longest "drought" throughout this period is 6 years.

It seems that the 10-year drought that we are experiencing now has not occurred since 1763-1772 (5523-5532) - 247 years ago.  12 6-year droughts occurred between the two 10-year droughts.

This year, 5776, is the 7th year of the 10-year drought.  In other words, it is the first year over the normal 6-year drought, showing its rarity.

Note that within the Tur's entire 247 year cycle, this 10-year drought only occurs one time.  Since the Tur's 247-year cycle is the same each year of the cycle, that would allow me to assume that this occurs exactly the same every 247 years.

Here are the years from Creation that this occurred based on our current calendar.  Of course, it would always depend on when intercalation occurred before Hillel's calendar was set up.

89-98
336-345
583-592
830-839
1077-1086
1324-1333
1571-1580
1818-1827
2065-2074
2312-2321
2559-2568
2806-2815
3053-3062
3300-3309
3547-3556
3794-3803
4041-4050
4288-4297
4535-4544
4782-4791
5029-5038
5276-5285
5523-5532
5770-5779

This is the 24th time that this occurred since Creation and will be the last before the year 6000.

Perhaps, this 7th time of reading קדש בכספא in a row for the last time before Mashiah is auspicious for hastening his arrival.
