Friday the 13th is More Common Than You Think

Nick Berry at Datagenetics says that the 13th day of the month is more likely to be a Friday than any other day of the week. How could that be? Well, this is the guy who taught us how to win at Hangman and Battleship, how to defeat a monster with math, and other useful stuff, so you know there’s an explanation. Darned if I can condense it, though. The chart above should tell you it’s true, but you’ll have to go to Datagenetics to see why.

Oh look! We have a Friday the 13th coming up next month! By then, you’ll be able to explain all this to your family and friends and really impress them.
