One correction that impacts two of the questions, and is something that is a common mistake. A decade is a 10 year period, and there is no Year 0 on the calendar. So the first decade A.D. is 1 A.D. to 10 A.D. Following that out, it means that 1960 is the end of the decade of the 1950s which runs from 1951 A.D. to 1960 A.D.
