November 20th POW Answer

Solution: May and June.

To see how this works, all you need to know is that months with 30 days push the first of the month ahead two days of the week, whereas months with 31 days push ahead three days. For example, March has 31 days, so if March 1 is a Tuesday, then April 1 is a Friday (move ahead three days of the week). Similarly, April has 30 days, so May 1 will be a Sunday (move ahead just two days of the week).



The table below summarizes what will happen in leap and nonleap years. August does not share the same day with any other month in a nonleap year, and October does not share the same day with any other month in a leap year — but only May and June never share the same day of the week with any other months, whether it’s a leap year or not.
