days in a year

We all know theres 365 days in a year right well your wrong. theres 364 days in a year if theres 52 weeks in a year and 7 days in a week.
364days / 52 weeks = 7 days a week.

To have 365 days in a year we need to either divide 365 day in a year / 7days in a week = 52.14 weeks in a year and divide that by 7 should give you 7.44 days in a week.

so we have 7.44 days in week.

O RLY?

Actually we all know there's 365.25 days in a year

That's why we have leap years

That is absolute rubbish. If you divide 365 by 7 to get 52.14 weeks there are obviously 7 days in a week, not 7.44!

ps: Worst thread of the day award (unless that Megzy posts or whatever her name is)

ok theres 7 days in a week you need to divide 7 by 365 to see how many 7 fit into 365,

ok try dividing 365 by 7 and 7 again
then do the same with 364.

Why?

I've already told you how many days there are in a year and how the time lost is compensated for!

I'm no pedant, but this sentence contradicts itself.

crashuk · 15 Apr 2006 at 16:43

ok lets make it easy lets say you pay £150 a week
£150 x 52 = £7800 a year
now £7800 / 365 = 21.36986
21.36986 x 7 = 149.58 a week

now if we £ 7800 / 365.25 = 21.355 per day
then £21.355 x 7 = 149.48.

Google is final.
