No but my routine is only for Julian years, so for Gregorian the answer is 27/3.

The Julian calendar is still used in the Eastern Orthodox Church, so I assumed your routine calculates their Easter date. Actually it calculates the Easter date in a proleptic, "old style" Julian calendar. This usually does not agree with the Eastern Easter date (which I assumed was calculated).

In this way the results seem to be correct. ;-)
