Thank you so much! I also need to show work/ a way I got the answers. Thanks again! Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! MM only goes up to 12, so from
2016 I can get:
01
02
06
10
12
-------
For DD, I can have up to 31
01
02
06
10
12
16
20
21
26
--------
MM/DD
--------
01 / 26
02 / 16
06 / 12
06 / 21
10 / 26
12 / 06
---------
I get these 5 possible days
Note that day 26 occurs twice,
01/26 and 10/26
I don't think there is a "formula"
to arrive at this
