I have a couple of questions left on a fun quiz I am doing, can anyone shed any light? I would be very grateful as this really isn't getting ANY housework done and the in-laws are coming tomorrow!

1. If a month starts on a Sunday there will be two notable things about it. What are they?

(I've got the first thing, which is that there will always be a Friday 13th, but can't for the life of me work out the second thing.)

2. 61 is the sixth _________ number?

Thanks in advance!

2 could be Prime number (cannot be divided by any number but itself and one)
2.  61 is the 6th Euler number (don't even ask!!)

ipek, Your definition is correct! Therefore the prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, ... ; so the sixth prime is 13 (again). In fact 61 is prime; but it is the 18th prime number.  Good try!

Isn't the 6th Euler Number E6 = -61 (minus 61)

61 is the 6th Centred Square Number but probably not the answer required.

The only other notable thing about a Month that starts on a Sunday is that there will be 5 Sundays in it. (Apart from Feb obviously)
Buzzie, There will also be 5 Sundays in a month that starts on a Saturday as well (except Feb.) so that is not all that remarkable.
According to what I've just read, 61 is the third Euler number. The sixth is 2,702,765. I agree with Kempie - 61 is the 6th centred square number
