what's the month

Post by steveh »

Evening all

If you add together the date of the last Monday of last month and the first Thursday of next month, the result is 38. Both dates are in the same year.

What is the current month?

Spoiler
This happens if the last Monday of last month was the 31st, and the first Thursday of next month is the 7th. This implies that the last Thursday of this month is the 31st. So both last month and this month have 31 days. So the current month is either August or January. But since last month and next month must be in the same year, the current month can only be August.
Best wishes,
Hans
