You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The prime days would be 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 and 31
The prime months would be Feb (2), Mar (3), May(5), Jul (7) and Nov (11)
Feb has 10 prime days
Mar has 11 prime days
May has 11 prime days
Jul has 11 prime days
Nov has 10 prime days
So in a leap year there will be 53 prime days. In a normal year there will only be 52 prime days
