is it that when you add up 12 months x 4 weeks you get 48 weeks, where have the other 4 weeks gone ?

4 weeks equals 28 days, most months have 30/31 days so all the extra days add up to a few more weeks

Correct, there are 7 days in 1 week.

However,

30 days hath September,April, June and November, All the rest have 31,
Excepting February alone.Which only has but 28 days clear and 29 in each leap year

So, using the above we can deduce that:

A. Only February is a 4 week month ( apart from Leap years )
B. You never read nursery rhymes.

HTH.

Without a smilie in your OP, indicating a tounge in cheek remark, you're wide open to ridicule. Personally, I think you've got off lightly!

If you put a smile in your post when your posting a fishing thread you don`t get the same amount of bites as your telling people its not a serious post, its more interesting this way to see who really does bite

Or you could do better things with you life than trying to get people to 'bite'.

If you are going to start throwing insults, at least put some effort into it!

There are obviously more than 4wks in 1 month, that 1 is easy.

However how do you explain the fact that there are only 52wks of the year (364) and 365 days in a year

In 10yrs there are 520 wks (3640 days) but yet 10 x 365 = (3650days) Give the 2 leap years that we'll get back in that time and we are still 8 days short


Quick Reply: If their are 52 weeks in a year and 4 weeks in a month then why
