Intrigued to make this a genre of posts, I have been receiving a forward message that Aug 2010 has 5 Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays and will not happen again in 800 odd years. Well, its common sense that when a month with 31 days starts with any day, that day and the following 2 days will repeat 5 times.. So, calculating when its not a leap year, next years August will start on a Monday. If its a leap year, it will skip a day and start on a Tuesday..
Without considering leap years, this pattern should repeat every 7 years.
Considering Leap years, we will have to add 2 + 2 years since there will be 2 leap years in between..
So, every 11 years or so, August will start with a Sunday.. The next August with 5 SMT will be in 2021. After that in 2032.
This is my own logic and calculation and if you find a mistake, please let me know.
And please stop forwarding something just because it sounds amazing..
LoL!!!
Actually, the amount of years between such and occurence goes in a cycle of “6,5,6,11,6,5,6,11,…” etc. For example, it happen next in 2021 (11 years), then 2027 (6 years later) and so on.
