I check my knuckles if its 30/31 days in a given month. Start counting months on first knuckle while including the depth between knuckles as well. Height means 31, depth means 30.
- al_borland 2y agoI still do this as well. I never understood why the little poem was so popular. At that point it’s just coming down to rote memorization, as pretty much any month can be used in any order and it will still sound right. The thing one does need to remember with the knuckle method is to count the end twice before going back the other way. July and August are both 31. I suppose this isn’t an issue if 2 fists are used, but I was taught to use one, so I could use my finger to track and feel the peaks and valleys.
- maw 2y agoWhat's wrong with the poem? Thirteen days have November April, May, and December. All the rest have thirty nine except for February when the weather is fine. Works for me.
- smusamashah 2y agoNever realized I could use my finger tips for doing the same.
- JohnFen 2y agoI do this as well. It's very handy (no pun intended).
