WHat do you get if you add 60 to 50? I get 110 - even with the calculator.

I think it's supposed to be what age will you turn this year, otherwise if you haven't had your birthday this year the answer will be 110.

Also you get 5 fridays, saturdays, sundays in any 31 day month every 7 years or so.

Well at least it's this millennium, the rules are in Latin now, how last millennia is that

Bloody marvellous for two years I argued, cajoled, until I was blue in the face that the rules should be in different languages and finally, someone has seen sense. I feel exonerated at last

We heard this at work, however a quick scan through the calendar showed - March 2013
http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/...2013&country=9

So that's 800 years (+/- 799)

It's one of those "facts" that just did not seem right from the off..

ps August 2014, May 2015, January 2016, July 2016, December 2017 ..... sorry
