The Quiz: Which month is followed by a month with 31 days?
March
January
August
February
Julius Caesar modified the Roman calendar in 46 B.C. to make each month have either 30 or 31 days, with the exception of February, which has 28 days and gains an extra day every fourth year. Four months in a year have 30 days: April, June, September, and November. There are seven months in a year having 31 days: January, March, May, July, August, October, and December. A common mnemonic for remembering the number of days in a given month is: “Thirty days has September, April, June, and November. All the rest have thirty-one, Save February at twenty-eight, But leap year, coming once in four, February then has one day more.”
The correct answer to this quiz is February.
