Dates in a year.

If you were to write out all the dates in 1 year. "1st January 2009, 2nd January 2009...30th December 2009, 31st December 2009"
How many times does "st" appear?

Sounds right to me. Here's the reasoning in case we've missed something:

Each month has the 1st and 21st (not 11th :)). Then just January, March, May, July, August, October and December have the 31st.
2 * 12 + 7
= 31

Then you need to add in 1 for each day of August. So another 31 for 62 total.

Yeah, sorry for my lateness. But correct.

''st'' appears 31 times? :oops:
