Apparently every 823 years a month has five Fridays and five Saturdays and five Sundays and Doug MacArthur Facebooked me and told me I had to tell you.
Why it took him til the last week of the month to send me this info but he said if I tell you I get money and if I don't the sky will fall.
Done.

Actually it happens all the time. This is a silly internet rumor.

ReplyDeleteDoes your facebook friend know math?
ReplyDeleteSeven months of the year have 31 days. If such a month starts on a Friday it will have five Friday-Saturday-Sunday combinations. There is a one in seven chance that a month will start on a Friday. Therefore we should expect, on average, one such "5-5-5" month every year. Look at August 2008, May 2009, January 2010, and July 2011.
Well look who got fooled.
