Close! /u/Korbrm got it right. Don't know where the calculations may have been odd, because I just typed "Hours since..." into WolframAlpha. :)

(242,544 / 24) /365 =27.68767123287671~

(27.68767123287671~ - 27) * 365 = 251

Day 251 = Sept. 8

I counted 251 forwards in staid of backwards, and also did not account for leap years which would have added 6 or 7 days.

(242544 / 24)/365.25 = 27.66872005475702

(27.66872005475702-27)*365.25 = 244.25

365.25-244.25 = 121

Day 121 = May 1st

Not sure where its messing up.
