Remembering 16 Years Ago

I happened to notice that when the Molad for Nissan was announced this past Shabbat, the hour and minutes were announced (4:36 PM) + 0 Halakim.  The fact that there were 0 Halakim after the minutes is itself not so unusual and occurs every 18 months.  What is unusual is that it occurred for Rosh Hodesh Nissan - that only happens once every 16 years.  (Thank you, TorahCalc.)  That means that the last time we had a Molad with 0 Halakim after the minutes was in Nissan, 5766 (or 2006).

I was therefore wondering what was going on about Rosh Hodesh Nissan 16 years ago.  Fortunately for me, my old posts provided some answers:

Here's one.

Here's another.

Here's a third.

We unfortunately didn't merit that those predictions would come to pass.  Maybe they were delayed until a similar Molad cycle.
