Don't Februarys from ANY year have each of the seven days occurring four times except for leap year? Meaning this occurs three of each four years.

365 days makes things not repeat evenly (New Years is not on the same day each year, but rather the next day normally). 365 divided by 7 has a remainder of 1.

Leap year is what makes it not re-occur every 7 years. Otherwise it would occur more often.

/least that's how I see it.
//the way the number 7 interplay's with other numbers is really cool, but I digress

Still not sure of the intent of OP though.
I may be off in left field .. oh look, a butterfly

In Bavaria we say: "So hat's mit König Ludwig auch angefangen." (translated from the Bavarian into German, in English: That's how it started with King Ludwig [II of Bavaria] also.) smile smile smile see at the bottom.


As we age, time seems to fly faster, but I'm far away from that speed, or I'm the Highlander, because in my lifespan I've had several Februaries already with the above mentioned properties. So I must be several thousand years old.

This kind of stuff pops up on FaceBook all the time... it's not true. But that doesn't stop people from reposting it.

"Happens once every 823 years" is the common thread in them all.

Thats it then. Solved. If its on Farcebook (the liars Bible) it must be true.
If they said the world was round,i wouldnt believe them.

Assuming that the point concerns a February when the first day of the month is Sunday, and the entire month is composed of 4 full weeks with no days overlapping into a partial week...

2017 is not such a year. (2015 was) But...

if you click on your computer's calendar, set the month to February, then cycle thru the years, the following years all show February starting on a Sunday, having 4 weeks of contiguous Sunday-Saturday and no overlap into a partial week:

2026
2037
2043
2054
2065
2072
2082

I could go on, but this makes the point that the frequency is demonstrably much more than once every several hundred years.

My birthday is Feb. 29, in a year the presidential election also occurred.

It's how I keep up with it being time to vote for President...

Real birthday/vote

Both still work, not only in Bavaria, but in the entire German speaking realm. That with the Schnitzelplatte is, naturally, dependent on the nature of the Restaurant.

For Americans and other English speaking people, in the first case, the only German word you need to know is "bitte" as the replacement for "please". "A beer" sounds close enough, as in most German speaking areas "ein" is often shortened to "a" (the "a" sounding similar t the "u" in "Bud" smile ).

Looks like a fibronicci sequence..... and I'll bet if you multiply them all and divide by Pi.R squared.... you get the number of the mark of the beast.

Yes, but only if you take away the number you first thought of... crazy
