Question of the Day #126 · July 27, 2026
Which country sits on a calendar that is approximately seven years behind the rest of the world and features 13 months?
Show answer
Ethiopia
The Ethiopian calendar has 12 months of 30 days plus a short 13th month of five or six days, and its year number is seven to eight years behind the Gregorian calendar. This offset comes from a different calculation of the Annunciation, not from having an extra month.
