💡 Hints

• First, try thinking of it as meaning "How many months have a 28th day?".
• Are you assuming that only February has 28 days? Remember the calendars of other months, too.
• Every month has a 28th day, so the number of months with a 28th day is not 1, but all months.
• If you recall how many months there are in a year, you'll know the answer.

🧠 Analysis & Key Points

This level is a riddle that plays on assumptions about calendar norms. The sentence "Every month has a 28th day, so enter 12" essentially asks "How many months have a 28th day?" The answer, since all months have at least 28 days, is "12". Many people quickly associate "28 days" with February and tend to respond with "1" or "February", but in reality, every month — January, February, March, etc. — has a 28th day. The key to solving this is breaking that assumption and shifting perspective, rather than relying on calculations.

🔍 Common Mistakes

• Assuming "28 days" refers only to February and entering "1" or "2".
• Misunderstanding the question as asking "How many months have only 28 days?".
• Skipping over the "every month has" part of the question.
• Failing to recognize it as a riddle and wasting time counting calendars.
