Interesting About February 2017

According to a Fengshui Master in HK: This February won't come in our lifetime again. Because this February has 4 Sundays, 4 Mondays, 4 Tuesdays, 4 Wednesdays, 4 Thursdays, 4 Fridays & 4 Saturdays. This only happens once every 823 years and is called money bags. Finally something exciting about February outside of you know, Valentines Day, and the leap year business.

9. It's the same principle, but.......

.......that refers to months with 5 of each day of the week which happens less often than the series of 4s for February, but considerably more often than anything referred to in the OP.

7. Really? Every February, except leap year, has 28 days.

Doesn't that mean every day of the week occurs 4 times but not a fifth time?

8. Sure does. For instance, look at the calendar for February 2015 or 2018.
