Since July always has 31 days, this would only occur in years when July 1st
happened to be a Friday.

So again if I am on the same page, is the suggestion that years in which July 1st
is a Friday are rare?

A quick check revealed that 1st July 2005 was also a Friday and that month had 5
Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.

A quick check ahead reveals that 1st July 2022 is also a Friday and that
month also has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.

Best Regards

Gary
Good one Gary

I got this trivia from someone on face book and not being very mathimaticaly minded. I couldn't work out if it did have that time span correct so you have blown the 823 years thing out of the water thanks for that it seems it is not that rare after all.
