This is 100% Untrue (Other then there is 5 weekends this month)
So don't believe it when people tell you about it.. don't believe me check out this blog post proving you to be stupid for not believing me... http://plumsplums.blogspot.com/2010/10/once-every-823-years.html
I believe you. Now . . . October has 31 days, along with January, March, May, July, August and December. So is your information about October true for these other months also? And is it possible to have more than one month with 5 Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in any one year? Knowing the answers to these question could change World History.
She's right to believe you! The 1st. October falls on a Friday every 11 years, so the 5 Fri.Sat.Sun weekends also happens every 11 years. Why folk need to look at a website to find this out defeats me . . . There are 365 days in a year. That number divides by 7 with remainder 1. So NEXT year, 1st. October is a SATURDAY, etc. But remember in LEAP YEARS a particular date AFTER 29th.Feb will move forward by 2 weekdays, not one. So we have an 11 year cycle before 1st. October next falls on a Friday, i.e in 2021, then 2032, 2043 etc
Be nice to know how your little cartoon arrived at the 823 year figure!
In 2010, January 1st. was a Friday, so that month had 5 Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and this will recur also in 2021, 2032 etc
