The London Daily Mail (which, in Fleet Street lore, used to be the newspaper for the wives of men who read The Times) sets us straight about the date of Easter:

It may look daunting to non-mathematicians but the fiendishly complex formula used to work out when Easter actually falls is: ((19*t+u-w-(u-(u+8)25)+1)3)+15)mod30)+(32+2*x+2*y-(19*t+u-w- (u-(u+8)25)+1)3)+15)mod30)-z)mod7)-7*(t+11*(19*t+u-w(u- (u+8)25)+1)3)+15)mod30)+22*(32+2*x+2*y-(19*t+u-w-(u- (u+8)25)+1)3)+15)mod30)-g)mod7)+114)31This year will be the earliest anyone now alive will ever see Easter because it will not fall this early again for over 100 years — in 2160.
It is not the earliest Easter can be celebrated however – that is a day earlier on March 22 though the next time it will fall then will be in 2285.
The last time it was on March 22 was 1818.

I dunno about “daunting,” it actually looks like gibberish to me. The left parentheses don’t match the right parentheses. And what do all those variables signify? Pah!

In any case, as every mathematician knows, the date of Easter is much more easily calculated using a transcendental L-function.
