There is an internet hoax going around claiming that certain occurrences of five days in a month occur every 823 years.
For examples, in October 2010, there were five Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. However, this occurrence occurs at the most every 11 years. The next time five Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays occurs in a month is March 2013. The next time it occurs in October is October 2021.
Nothing. There are 5 Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in October about once every seven years, not 823.Nothing. There was a claim that 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays in October happens only every 823 years, but this is not true. It happened in 1999, 2004, 2010 and the next occurrence will be in 2021.
The claim is that every 823 years, there is a month with 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays. It happens in October 2010. But this is an internet hoax. October previously had 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays in 1982, 1993, 1999 and 2004, and it will happen again in 2021. In fact, to my knowledge, there is NO calendar event [which is what this category pertains to] that regularly happens every 823 years. The Western world switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar more recently than that! (in 1582)
every 823 years.
A false rumor is floating around the Internet that this happens only once every 823 years. The reality is that it happens whenever the first day of October is on Friday, which happens on average once every seven years. The last time for this "rare" event was 6 years ago, back in 2004. And the time before that was 5 years previously, in 1999.
More like every 28 years, I think.
Once every 823 years
The next time it will happen is July 2011. It happens once or twice a year.Does a month having 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays only happen once every 823 years?No.A year can only start on one of seven days, so there are seven possible basic calendar years. Add leap years, and there are fourteen basic calendars. Period. And one of those calendars only gets used every 823 years? How would that be possible? It's not of course, all fourteen calendars get cycled through regularly, in fact 2010 uses the exact same calendar as 1999. That's eleven years, not 823.The next time is March of 2013
A triennial event happens every three years.
Something that happens every six years is sexennial.
Something that happens every three years is a triennialevent.
Something that happens once a century.
