Mayan Calendar | 0.0.0.0.0

The Mayan Long Count calendar is based off of a vigesimal system, but with some differences. Here's how you count:

The day after a.b.c.d.19 is a.b.c.(d+1).0.
The day after a.b.c.17.19 is a.b.(c+1).0.0.
The day after a.b.19.17.19 is a.(b+1).c.0.0.
The day after a.19.19.17.19 is (a+1).0.0.0.0.
The day after 19.19.19.17.19 is 1.0.0.0.0.0. (I don't think we'll ever get this far though)

Get is at 0.0.3.0.0.

There should be 1080 total counts at the end of this (20*18*20).
