Am sick 🤢. In hindsight having to google the number of days in a year yesterday should have been a giveaway. throat feels like hell. Back to bed I guess.
On the number of days in a year though, for the rest of our lives it’s now very easy: 20 is divisible by 4 so you can completely ignore the first two digits as 20/4 == 5, so then it’s just the next two digits to think about, so 25/4 doesn’t work without a remainder so it’s definitely 365, so 2028 will be 366, 2032 will be 366, otherwise it’ll be 365.
To take that one step further, it is easy to find out the day of the week next year because 365 days = 52 weeks plus one day.
That means:
2026’s June 20 is a Saturday
2027’s is Sunday.
2028 is a leap year where there is an extra day in February, so we count an extra day: 2028’s June 20 is a Tuesday.
It’s easy to learn if you know your 4 times table! I’m happy to help you!
Basically from what I said, if you take the last two digits of the year we’re in, and they’re divisible by 4 you’re in a leap year. If they’re not then it’s always 365 days, unless we as a society start accounting for the fractions.
Regarding the days of the week, they move based on predictable futures regardless of the calendar we are using. Hence the hidden joke.

Hope you feel better soon mate!

I have no idea if what you just said makes any sense at all or if it’s a joke
It’s legit.
Since it turned 2000 every leap year is just primary school level 4 times table. So 4, 8, 12,.16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44 etc!
So, 2096 will have 366 days, because it’s 24*4 :D

Lol, love this.
But try applying this with the now deprecated EFA calendar where the month always starts on a Monday.
I was not aware of it, and now that I am I refuse to engage with it.
I am curious to your response. Did you reply to the wrong thread?
I was not aware of the EFA calendar, and I refuse to further acknowledge it.
My puny brain can’t understand either of you
it’s alright zombies will eat us first
You booked yourself in for 28 years later then?

Same ☹️. Seems to be going around. I coughed so much yesterday I saw sparkles. Hope both of us feel better soon
Downvoted for being sick? Ok 🤷🏻
