Math can be fun. It's hard science, and it does not lie to you. So, barring some kind of plot hole, I realized that a few facts laid out in the show help establish a rough timeline of events. These facts: Now, if my math is correct, these additional facts can be established, and facts can build upon one another to establish additional facts: This still provides some wiggle room for the variability of dates and time spans, but not by much.
 * The turtles celebrated their 15th mutation day in Rise of the Turtles, Part 1.
 * In The Gauntlet, tells  that "in the past few months" they have taken down giant spiders, plant creatures, alien robots and.
 * In The Pulverizer, Timothy told the turtles that he first saw them months (plural) before, an observer of the events of I Think His Name is Baxter Stockman.
 * In The Good, The Bad and Casey Jones, mentions that Midtown Ice Rink was no longer open at nights because of a fight that broke out there "a few months back" during the events of Target: April O'Neil.
 * The Invasion, Part 1 and Part 2 started during winter weather, and said the invasion was worse than the  incident "last year", which referred to Showdown, Part 1 and Part 2.
 * In The Croaking, the Channel 6 News website said the (who had been mutated since Buried Secrets) had first started being seen in July.  Additionally,  told  that he was (still) 15 years old.
 * The entire series from Rise of the Turtles up to The Croaking took place in a space of less than a year. Why?  Because the turtles had not yet celebrated their 16th mutation day.
 * The first season took place over a space of at least a few months. Why?  Because The Gauntlet and The Pulverizer established that at least a few months had gone by since specific earlier episodes in the season.
 * The second season also took place over a space of at least a few months. Why?  Because The Good, The Bad and Casey Jones established that at least a few months had gone by since specific earlier episodes in that season.
 * The Invasion took place no earlier than January of the same year The Croaking took place, and Showdown took place no later than December of the previous year, but at least a few months separated the two events. Why?  Because Showdown happened the previous calendar year, but no earlier than a few months after Rise of the Turtles, and all of Season 2 took place in at least a few months itself.
 * The Croaking established that it was already July or later in that year. Why?  Because less than a year had passed since Rise of the Turtles (necessarily making it the same year as The Invasion), and it was already no earlier than July.  Since New York City's winter weather lasts no later than April, it means the group had been living in North Hampton for no fewer than two months.
 * The turtles' mutation day is no earlier than July. Why?  Because it's only been less than a year since Rise of the Turtles, and they did not celebrate a mutation day since the beginning of the new calendar year.

What do you think of my math? :)
