there arent four weeks in every month either!

Some have five, mainly August IIRC.

August has 4 weeks and 3 days, not 5 weeks.

Has the IQ of GD dipped today?

the 365.25 is solar years, ever one thinks its days 365 a year but once you break it down to weeks and day decimal points appears beacause you cant use 7 to divide 365 because you end up with decimal points.

just found this.

a) That is just a mad scientist who is trying to create a system that makes more sense to him. We don't use it!
b) Did you even read the first 2 sections that point out what has been said over and over?

But his system works and is the same as what i posted eitehr have 364 days in a year, or decimal points for weeks and days.

so how do you get a £150 per week and £7800 a year as a clean figure with out using what i suggested?

4 weeks and two actually, has your abacus broken!?

Tuesday 1st to Tuesday 29th = 4 weeks, 30th and 31st equal 2 days!

All i was stating was that over the course of the year every month does not have exactly 4 weeks in as the OP stated. Therefore the year does in fact have 365 days!

Freefaller · 15 Apr 2006 at 17:19

To the OP. It's not often that I'm so up front and bold - but you're wrong, so very wrong as what has been proven in the thread numerous times.

No but yours has.

31 days

1 week 7
2 weeks 14
3 weeks 21
4 weeks 28
+ 3 = 31.

A day is 24 hours, a week is 7 days, on average the number of weeks in a year has decimal places, but that is what leap years help get around.

Also if we had it as you said where it had decimal places, then gradualy as the year passed midnight would no longer be the middle of the night....

crashuk · 15 Apr 2006 at 17:21

i never said anything about months, just weeks years and days, months are the odd ones out really.

so how do you calculate £7800 a year and have £150 per week and then calculate per day other than using £7800 /52/7?

Who cares?

MaxPower · 15 Apr 2006 at 17:29

To end this argument once and for all I have written a letter if complain to the guys that decide how many days in a year and we are now going over to the decimal calendar there is now 100 days in a year, the only problem with this that I can see is that the queen will have to start making out a hell of a lot more telegrams for those who get to their 100th birthday.

The fact remains that there are NOT only 52 weeks in the year, it's a little more than 52 - so your figures aren't going to work as the 365.25 figure is taking into account EVERY single day, your calculations are based on perfect 52 week years which don't exist!

There are 52.14 (rounded) weeks in a year. FACT.
There are 365.25 (rounded) days in a year. FACT.

thats some BAD maths, 7.44 * 52 = 386.88 days in a year

shhhhhhh

so your calculation is 7 days * 52 weeks = 364?

As you stated in your first post, there arent 52 weeks in a year, there are 52 weeks and one day. Granted, the average number of weeks isn't a whole number, but a week is 7 days, there is no problem with not having a whole number of weeks in a year. There is a problem if we didn't have whole numbers of days though which is why we have leap years to make up for this.
