The numbers on the left dial move in increments of 7, mine did anyway. My fuzzy sense of this is that the crucial thing was to get the final number in the year right because it is the one that seemed to me to govern time of day for the meeting. I did eventually get the right numbers plugged in although I am not sure that I actually solved the puzzle because I was going stupidly for 1766 when (perhaps) I should have tried for 1765. I got to 1765 because when I overshot 8/30 adding by 7 on the left, I would then set the date back a year or more (and sometimes forward) to try to change the days so that a plus seven would land on 23 then 30. I think but am not positive that my note was 8/30 and the left dial on 20 and the right on 11.
For all I know, the puzzle solved itself after I had monkeyed with it for long enough to trigger a skip.
EDIT: I just replayed that portion because I had saved at a convenient spot and what I described above does work. The puzzle is clever and soluble once you realize that the last numeral in the year is the time of day. Oh, and get the time of the day right.
Or maybe not.
You probably can get your two numbers in by trying to plug them into every year. In other words, use the the right hand dial to set a year, then use the left to try to reach your two numbers and so on until you get there.
