Boomer 33202 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) Someone was telling me the other day about a rather interesting stat. Apparently the month of July this year has five each, Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. This hasn't happened in over 800 years.

Had a brain cramp Sorry Emma, I made a mistake, and have edited the original post to five ( not three) Friday, Saturday, and Sundays in the month.

Guest tr*****e Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Cool. I was also here for the turn of the millennium, which only happens every... um... millennium. But seriously, I didn't realize this didn't happen that often. I'll be sure to relay this to someone else today, too, because that's interesting!

Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Someone was telling me the other day about a rather interesting stat. Apparently the month of July this year has five each, Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. This hasn't happened in over 800 years. This last happened 6 years ago, in 2005. It will happen next in 2016. (In the Gregorian calendar cycle, I think the longest possible gap between repeat occurrences of any specific monthly configuration like this ("July starting on a Friday", for example) is 11 years.)
