Chemical
--------
ALISO VIEJO, Calif. - Concerned city officials considered banning foam cups
after learning that the "dangerous" chemical dihydrogen monoxide was used
in their production. Then the red-faced officials learned that dihydrogen
monoxide, or H2O for short, is the scientific term for water. "It's
embarrassing," said City Manager David J. Norman. "We had a paralegal who
did bad research." The paralegal believed information posted on an official
looking Web site that described dihydrogen monoxide as "an odorless,
tasteless chemical" that can be deadly if inhaled. The City Council had
planned to vote next week on a proposed law that would have prohibited the
use of foam cups at city-sponsored events. The measure has since been
pulled from the agenda.
Puzzle
------
The result of adding the date of the last Monday of last month and the date
of the first Thursday of next month is 38. If both dates are of the same
year, what is the current month?
Hint: Note that 38 is a very high number for the sum of the first Thursday
of the month and the last Monday of another month. What days could give
such a high result?

Answer:
August. In order to add up to 38, it can only be the highest possible
number for the last Monday of a month (31) and the highest for the first
Thursday of a month (7). Therefore, both last month and the current month
must have 31 day. The only two 31-day months in a row in the same calendar
year are July and August.
