  Ada.Calendar did some transformation on the Ada.Real_Time counter to
get MM/DD...  and you want to invert that transformation, right?  But
it sounds to me like you have a computer which has been blindfolded
and taken to a secret location.  The only information it has is the
clock on the wall in its cell, and it wants to know what time it is
in Greenwich, England.  It either must communicate, but

Sounds impossible to me.
