Our calendar lies to us and I'll prove.

I prove this with 3rd grade math

12 months = 1 year
52 weeks = 1 year

Right, like we were all taught to believe. Well check this out

There are 4 weeks in a month right. Sound normal so far.

So take 4 weeks times it by 12 months and you get 48 weeks

4 X 12 = 48 weeks in year going by math alone

So I just said there are 52 weeks in year by what they taught us to believe and I just showed you that i got 48 weeks just doing the math.

Now lets some subtraction here. Lets take 52 - 48 = 4 right

So that equal a to 4 extra weeks and that 4 extra weeks equals to 1 extra month. So that means we have 13 months in year, not 12 months

You are assuming that there are only 28 days in every month, and that just isn't true.

@michaela2001 yes, you are right, but this guy is from neptune, they do math different there

@HumanEarth why? Are weeks qualitatively different from days?

Just out of curiosity, have you ever seen a calendar?

Oh is this better.

There aren’t 4 weeks in every month. There are an average of 4.33.

You also assume there is logic in what we were taught.

I'm not assuming anything. I just found this fascinating and wanted to share this

No. Only February in non-leap years.

LOL!

The calendar is not lying. It works by unequal-length months.

Plus every fourth year being a Leap Year with an extra day, to compensate for the Earth's 365.25 day orbit.

Yes and No.

You’re talking lunar months.

But then, there are 13 months.
Not all months here 31 days, though...

We are not counting days, but weeks
