Perhaps the question is:

If meaningless rubbish, what month are we in? The answer to that has already been given.

I agree. I think Greebo intended to write:

If the date of the last Sunday in last month and the first Sunday of this month do not add up to 33, what month are we in?

Since this is true for nearly every month, the question boils down to "What month are we in?" to which Croz has given the right answer.

But don't let that stop people guessing some of the other months.

I misread the question, and thougth you neede to add the number of days in the previous month and the date of the first sunday in the current. Only june wil give you 33.
