Thursday = 4/7 = 0.571
8pm = 20/24 = 0.833
October = 10/12 = 0.833
Saturday =6/7 = 0.857
Unless you only count work days, then Thurs = 4/5 = 0.8
I rest my case
Don't some cultures start their calendar week on Saturday? If so then Thursday is 6/7 for that specific use case.
The reason thursday is in the list is because of it containing the letter H. Check its position in the alphabet
Thursday is 5/7 if you're one of those uncivilized people who start the week in Sunday.
Start it when it ends, turn it upside down, light the whole thing on fire. Pure anarchy.
I like to think of weekends like bookends, sandwiching the work week between freedom.
To me the weekend is the end of the week. I don't start the week on its end, so by elimination the week starts on Monday.
End (noun)
"THE" weekend, singular.
End (noun) 3. "The point in time when an action, event, or phenomenon ceases or is completed; the conclusion."
But it also finishes on a Friday, so 4/5, not 4/7.
I can respect this.
Rocksolid argument.
ok yes October being equivalent to Saturday makes much more sense. best day of the week = best month of the year
This is publishable.
This counts as peer review ^^
