There's something odd about Greebo's calendar... can you work out how many days there are in September according to me calendar?
January 107
February 68
March 135
April 15
May 133
June 104
July 104
August 16
September ?

How its done,
Take the First letter, in alphabetical order
J is the 10th letter of the alphabet
June has 4 letters
Thus June 104
S=19th letter
September has 9 letters
Thus September 199

What's worse is when you click Refresh; Greebo has not posted the question yet. 10 seconds later you click Refresh. There's the question along with Titania's answer.

Worse also is arriving an hour late, after having been held up with w**k, and find you would have known the answer if you'd gotten there first...

144!
Calculate the sum of each month substituting letters according to the following list:
A = 5
B = 7
C = 6
E = 1
F = 10
G = -128
H = 8
I = 18
J = 39
L = 2
M = 125
N = 4
P = -1
R = -9
S = 9
T = 10
U = 60
Y = 3
The calendar would have any number of days for the remaining months, though, depending on what values you take for "O", "V" and "D".

This bites. But I suppose I woudn't have gotten here in time again anyway....
How do we know when it's going to be posted??!? Not all of us have the resources to sit on the Guide like hawks and watch for the thing to be posted.....
*hmf*
Not that I had a clue, though I tried, but now that someone mentions it...
