Check out the calendar. Every 823 years there is a year like this.

August this year will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.

Apparently the Chinese call it 'Silver pockets full'.biggrinbiggrin

What about this month ?  5 Wednesdays, 5 Thursdays, 5 Fridays.  And March, 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays.

April,  5 Tuesdays, 5 Wednesdays.  May, 5 Thursdays, 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays.  June, 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays.  Etc. Etc.

Check out your Calendar.  Every month except February [ which has none,] has at least 2 days that appear 5 times.

Cheers,

Sheba.

This year it was 5 Thursdays, 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays.  Next year it will probably be the Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Cheers,

Sheba.

I would guess that every month has 28 days - and some have more.
