The game's question
Move at your own pace; the story will put you on the right track.
One month stands a bit apart on the calendar: it is shorter than all the others. People kept an eye on it, because every four years it gets one extra day. It is also the month of Valentine’s Day cards. In an ordinary year, without that extra day, how many days does February have?
- 28
- 30
- 31
Need a hint?
Every four years, February gets a 29th day—that is a leap year. Tell each other about anyone born on February 29.
See the answer
Answer: 28—and 29 in a leap year.
Why this game : The calendar has its small secrets—and almost always a story about somebody’s birthday.
