This October Has 5 Fridays, Saturdays, & Sundays, But That Happens Way More Often Than “Once Every 823 Years”

Hello,

I think you took only half of the condition.

It was originally stated with two conditions:

# 1 10th day of the 10th month of the 10th year.

# 2 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.

The October months you show do not meet both conditions.

Respectfully,
JN_Rut

Check out Octobor of 2004. It also had five Sundays, five Fridays and five Saturdays.

JN_Rut: If you add the first requirement of 10th day of the 10th month of the 10th year then it is even more certain that it won’t happen every 823rd year! (since 10+3 is not 10…)

The next time all your criteria will take place is October 2410 and the last time was October 1210 (if you extrapolate _our_ calendar that far back…) So indeed that is rarer, but it has to occur at multiple of a century of course.

This is based on the Hebrew calendar, which is why it is usually sent in Hebrew. It being based mostly on a Lunar system, this rarely happens However in the Hebrew month of Cheshvan, 5751, this DOES happen for the first time in 823 years. Hoax? I think not.
You folks need to expand your narrow range of view.

@hebe5757 Cheshvan is normally a 29 day month and occassionally a 30 day month so for it to have three consecutive days occurring 5 times is one hell of a miracle as it requires a 31 day month.

You folks need to expand your narrow range of mathematics!!!

@JN_RUT in the stories going around it doesn’t have your first criteria.

@aldebaranian I believe that with the criteria the last one would be 1610.

@hebe5757 Even if it had 31 days, Cheshvan 5751 starts on a Shabbat not a yom shishi.

The problem with trying to justify trying to use either the Jewish calendar or the Chinese calendar ( Jewish calendar and the Chinese calendar actually do synchronize quite nicely, with complementary 19 year lunar cycles, the first email I got mentioned this was a Feng shui thing,) is that in all the emails and face book postings I’ve seen always uses the term “October’ as a critical criteria. Not “the tenth month” of the year. October. I’d love to think outside the box, but the lid’s been nailed down.
There may be a calendar system that somehow could be force fit into, but I doubt it uses specific terminology like “October, Friday, Saturday, Sunday or weekend’.

Its just not good practice to try to mash measuring systems together. Or use terminology that may be obscure or unsuitable in context When asked how tall I am, I suspect the DMV wont accept “one International Fathom’ nor will they accept ‘1 meter,32 and 5/8 inches’ as answers.

Each time it happens, it ends with Halloween. It’s pretty interesting because it is rare. I offer relocation services and this October was one of our most productive months this year!

In the past 20 years this has happened in :

January – ’93, ’99, ’10.
March – ’91, ’96, ’02.
May – ’92, ’98, ’09.
JULY – ’94, ’05.
August – ’97, ’03, ’08.
October – ’93, ’99, ’04, ’10.
December – ’95, ’00, ’06.

this July has 5 fri sat sun

So in other words this happens almost every year. what a rare phenomenon

jan has 5 sat sun mon, july has 5 fri sat sun and oct 5 fri sat sun how often does a year have three months like this

what?

WooooooOOOooooooOOOooooooOOO!!!

(There are 9 o’s, with six small and 3 Caps, three times over. Now THAT’s creepy!)

this is based on the republicans calender, just like all their other e mails, lies.

OLD NEWS here’s the latest:
this year we are going to expirience four unusual dates:
1/1/11; 1/11/11; 11/1/11; 11/11/11 and when you take take last two digits of the year add the age you will be this year you get :111
what do you say to that!

@Bongani – I say the dates are cool, but you’ve missed a bit on the year thing – you have to be 100 for that to work!

In the version I received (your age this year plus the last two digits of the year you were born), it works for (almost) everyone, but that’s hardly surprising – adding those two numbers gives you the number of years since 1900 (assuming you were born before 2000), which is 111. If you were born in 2000 or after, they will only sum to 11.

But October 2011 has 5x Saturday, 5x Sunday and 5x Monday. This may happen once in 823 years :)

for those few who were born before 1900 and still alive, it’ll be 211. someone’s taking it as a discovery. it is simple math like 2011-1900=111, 2011-2000=11, 2011-1800=211 etc. i believe everybody can do this math. all those 1111111111111111s is really rare thou. happens ONLY in every hundred years. live healthy, eat healthy u might see another 111111111111111111s.
Dang, I never knew i was good at math, anything with thinking involved.
agreed with Geek from New Zealand, i asssume. :)

its about the year 2011! not 2010 whole article is nonsense!!

its about the year 2011! not 2010 and its about Mondays Saturdays and Sundays!!! not fridays saturdays sundays!

and it doesnt apply for 2011 with monday saturday sunday as we ll have the same october in 2016, 2022,..33,..39,..44,..50…

Thanks for the heads-up asshole!

 Don’t you read? There are ONLY 14 basic calendars. The very very LEAST it could happen is once every 14 years. But with leap years, it follows a 5,6,5,11 year cycle

i think it was sarcasm…

 Ummm…. It _Didn’t_ say “Cheshvan”… It said “October”.
Therefore we’ve no reason to “expand our narrow range” as the Hebrew calendar was not specified — hence, any reasonable person would use the current common civil calendar.

But, thank you for the very interesting information you provided, of which I was not aware.

A day when you do not learn something new has been a wasted day.

 Thank You!!!!
My point exactly; stated much the better!

Ha ha… “Fun with Math” (C)(TM)(SM)(BS)…

By the way: Right now the soul of my left foot itches…. it doesn’t doe that very often. So _THERE’S” another_  unusual thing!

[No. I didn't mis-spell sole. (?!) Who says my feet don't have a soul? Are you sure I was talking about an anatomical part and not describing a particular 12 inch long portion of some (other) part of my body? i.e. thigh, torso
My point is... semantics, word selection, etc. are mailable things... Try hard enough and you can make anything imply whatever you wish.]

 Hmmm…
Yes, all the ones are interesting and unique (sort of), but the _fact_ itself has always been true, since the establishment of the current civil calendar, that such would be the case.
It’s just a bunch of “observations”… to use the formal mathematical/logical term… rather than some astounding “proof” of anything.
 

Laughing at myself here…
Yeah.. I really needed _another_ way (besides Facebook) to waste 15 minutes of my life…
:)

but not only octobers have this thing. I noticed some other months ir previous years :) do not remember which ones exactly :)

Is it possible that it only happens specifically in the month of JULY… every 823 years? Everyone seems to keep referencing October and/or other months….

Nope. It happened with July in 2005 and will again in 2016, 2022, and 2033 following the 6-5-6-11 pattern mentioned above (at least until the end of this century when the pattern shifts slightly due to 2100 not being a leap year.)

I need 6 sundays in a month!

Correct me if I am misstaken but hebrew calanders only have 29 or 30 days in them making it impossible to have this situation.

March 2013 has  5x Saturday, 5x Sunday and 5x Monday.
August 2014 has 5x Saturday, 5x Sunday and 5x Monday.

There is no Jewish calendar month that has 31 days….DUH

NOOOO……mathematically it does not!!…..check Dec 2012!!

You might want to repost……cuz 11 plus me being 39 this year makes it 50!! its take the last 2 digits of the year u were born and the age u will be this year!!!

just read a calendar from past years
 

It is true that October 2010 has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. However, there is nothing particularly “interesting” or unusual about this fact. And it is certainly not true that such a combination only happens every 823 years. In fact, such combinations occur every few years. As the following calendar shows, the next year that has a month of October with 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays will be 2021. This is a mere eleven years in the future, not 823 years as suggested in the message:

ummm. … RE: #2: the calendars are right there: they each have 5 sat sun and fri’s
not to be totally party pooper… what about the ’20′ before the 10 in the tenth year?

Well: in any case: it is all very fun to see and am looking forward to my money bag in 4 days!!! cuz it’s happening in 2011 for NOVEMBER!! (… didn’t this happen sometime last June or July also?)
that’s okay!! it’s still fun. there’s a math thing that goes with the 11 that is even MORE fun!
(copied from someone else, it works on anyone born before the year 2000, but anyone born the year 2000 or after that will end up with 11!)

Take the last two digits of the year you were born and
  the age you will be this year and the result will add up to 111 for
  everyone!!!!

i meant October…  “it’s happening in 2011 for NOVEMBER!! (“

So does April 2012!!
