The 5 Fridays, Saturdays, And Sundays Myth

There is this this little factoid that’s been spreading around the Internet that this October is the first time in 823 years that there are 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays in one month. It’s not true. It happens all the time. posted on October 5, 2010 at 4:22pm EDT

      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
