    Story during a session dialoge goes something liek this:
     
    Rasta: - Do you know why they call April Fools ... All Fools Day?
     
    friend: No
     
    Rasta: the day .... White man fool the world.
     
    friend: chuckle
     
    Rasta: YES! check it......... how many month in a year?
     
    friend: 12
     
    Rasta: No, 13 their is 13 months in a year.
     
     
    Rasta explain in greater detail, but I just listed the math below:
     
     
     
    1 year = 365.242
     
    13/365.242 = 28.0769230769 ****   this is the trick ****   
     
    28.0769230769 - 28 = 0769230769
     
    <span>0769230769 * 13 = 1 </span>day (@ note @)
     
    In total 13 months
     
    12 months = 28 days each
    month 13 = 29 days ( @ added the one extra day @)
     
     
    Now when he told me this I will admit I was high as fuck and thought this shit was true and kinda of fucked me up for a bit lol. I'm extremely confident, someone out in GC will do the research and proof this incorrect, however this story always blew my mind when my friend explains it. 
     
     
    Yea my brother and I was like staring at our phones and was counting the months lmfao
    we were like WTF and then I counted it wrong and I was like oh shit lol shit was crazy.
     
     
    :bongin:
     
    basically it's a trick that divides incorrectly lol

    you realize months dont always and usually dont have 28 days right? it isnt a division trick, you just arent using the right numbers to begin with.

    and guess how many days are left over if you round them all down to 28? the same number in the 13th month.

    This ^ op has fallen for rhetoric in its basic form of deception.

    Pretty sure only February has 28 days and the rest have 31 and maybe sometimes April is shorter for leap year I'm not 100% though.

    Dude I don't know I was really stoned and it blew my mind at the moment lol I was like "What month is it!!!?" lmao at first we kinda of had a feeling that dude was busting our balls, with that story but the more we :smoke: the more we believed shit was credible. 
     
     
     
     
    lol we went home and busted out like 5 different calendars.  I thought at the time this was some ground breaking study. Felt as if I was doing research for a dissertation.
     
    But, I'm not going to lie, I was bamboozled, and some humility is good once in awhile.
