Los Angeles Emergency Repeater Association

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving Day and we will NOT have a Net next week.  So, I thought I’d do a little bit of Thanksgiving Trivia this week.

Since 1941 Thanksgiving Day has been fixed as the fourth Thursday in November.  That means it can occur on a variety of different dates.  For example, last year Thanksgiving Day was on November 22nd.  This year it is on November 28th.  Next year it will be on November 27th.

QUESTION:

Since it is fixed as being on the fourth Thursday in November, on how many different dates can Thanksgiving Day occur?

ANSWER:

Seven

EXPLANATION:

Thanksgiving Day can occur on any date from November 22 to the 28th. So, it can take place on any of seven different dates.

This year it is on the 28th, which is just 6 days from now.  And, a reminder, there are only 33 days until Christmas.
