Adding these numbers for each year being considered provides an answer to the ubiquitous question "is Friday the 13th more frequently occurring than any other day". But what do I know? :} (This is a metaphorical question relating my own experiences to the philsophical and transcendental plane of corporeal existence and hence, not needing a response.) As time permits I will perform the necessary calculations and provide the algorithm. art schwarz (No opinion is worth it's salt unless my wife approves it.)
