And he didn't even do all of them, like any good public servant.

    There are two kinds of people.

    One kind can draw an inference.

    30 days, has September, April, June, and November. All the rest have 31 except for February which has 28, and once in 4 it has 1 more!

    As someone who's dyslexic and nearly 40 I will never remember this for as long as I live no matter how many times I've heard it.

    There's a much easier way to remember. Ball your two hands into fists in front of you and put them together so that you have your knuckles on top, sans thumbs. Start counting from left, knuckles are hills, the gap between them are valleys. Months falling on valleys are shorter. Months falling on hills are always 31 days.

    • January is on a hill.
    • February falls on a valley.
    • March is hill.
    • April is in a valley.
    • May is on hill.
    • June is valley.
    • July is on a hill.
    • August is on a hill too!
    • September is in a valley.
    • October is hill.
    • November, valley.
    • December ends on a hill.

    You have a valley and a knuckle left.

    This is how my dad taught me, and when I pointed out that February wasn't 30 days he looked at me and asked in an almost furious tone "Are you ever going to forget that February has it's own thing going on?"

    Nope, not anymore dad, I remember it forever.

    Take the last knuckle and valley, assume they are days instead of months, add them together, then subtract the value on February from the usual valley value besides February.

    ... Yeah, you better remember the quirk of February without mnemonics or your knuckles.

    I miss my dad. And your dad.

    I just do the knuckles method (you have to remember February, but other than that it’s perfect).

    Here's a version from the 16th Century

    Thirty dayes hath Nouember, Aprill, Iune and September; Twentie and eyght hath February alone, And all the rest thirty and one, But in the leape you must adde one.

    It's weird that April didn't know how many days April has.

    I see you're trying to be clever but April never mentioned how many days she thinks April has.

    This bit, while hilarious, always rubbed me the wrong way because it seems uncharacteristically careless of April.

    She's disinterested - not error-prone.

    I tried to do this with a cronjob I didn't want to actually run.

    It didn't work

    Ah you thought they did it like:

    if ( date == target_date ) { \ do the thing }

    But it was really:

    time_to_target = convert_date_to_time_to( target_date ); // always returns the closest time to whatever date you specify (even if the date doesn't exist (March 31st does exist))
    do_thing_in_x_time( the_thing, time_to_target );
