5. The last glyph on side b is number 472 given that we begin to count from Gb8-30, i.e. we count this glyph twice to complete the cycle (which then would be 16 * 29½ = 472 days long). The reason why there is one glyph 'missing' probably has to do with the fact that 314 * 1½ = 471. If we do not count Gb8-30 twice, then the stars and dates before 'May 24 have to be relocated to the glyph 1 position earlier.
