True?

This is the only time you will see this phenomenon in your life!!


August, this year, will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.  This happens only once every 823 years.  The Chinese call it 'Silver pockets full.

It would appear that there are indeed 5x fri., 5x sat., and 5x sun. in Aug 2014.

It must be the 823 years that is in question.

That is correct. It happens every 5-11 years (Follows a pattern of 6-5-6-11 years apart).

This happens whenever the first day of a 31 day month falls on a Friday.  It will occur again in May of 2015 and both January and July of 2016.
