This year, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens once every 823 years.


Kinda interesting -
This year we're going to experience four unusual dates.

1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 and that's not all...

Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born - now add the age you will be this year,

The results will be 111 for everyone in whole world. This is the year of Money!!!

explained in Chinese FENG SHUI.

Next year the sum will be 112 and is down to very simple arithmetic, no mystery to it whatsoever. Good job nobody here's likely to have been born before 1900.

[albaqwerty]

errr my total is 2011 and I'm skint as well

It is perfectly true that July 2011 has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. However, such a combination occurs far more often than every 823 years. The last occurrence was in July 2005 while the next occurrence will take place in July 2016.

Well, I was born in 1899, so 99 + 112 = .... hm.....
OK, I was born in 2001, so 1 + 10 = ....hm....
...EVERYONE in the whole world?

This hogwash hoax again. Pops up every year or so.

The last time it happened was October 2010.

Hardly a mystery, merely an arithmetical sleight of hand. This works for every year. Subtract your year of birth from the current year and you will arrive at your age. I'm surprised people still fall for this one.

Ah yes, sorry about that - I was in the Twilight Zone, blinded by Toyah's daft hairdo.

[karenmac60]

Wisnae me AP - although I can do a cracking impersonation of her doing that, complete with lisp ;)

[factor-fiction]

Am I missing something? Surely if you add your age to the year of your birth you'll always get the current year- in this case 2011, next year 2012, etc. So your calculation is just a variation on that (you are just omitting the 1900).
And I'd love to know where the statistic of "once every 823 years" comes from

Aye, sorry fer bein sae glaikit - ah wiznae payin proper attention !

[Arti]

Ansy, what's glaikit? Or am I being glaikit for not knowing?

[Answerprancer]

dozy

[welshlibranr]

Very interesting Jem!............my age does add up too!.........let's hope it's a good year moneywise for us all!................

[Arti]

No need for that, Ansy, I was only askin' ;)

[mike11111]

Having three consecutive fifth days in the month is not at all unusual.It happens every March, except after a leap year.

Glaikit, or glakey as it has come down to us Geordies means starry-eyed, not all there, a bit away with the fairies.
