What Do I Have? (Posted on 2002-12-20) Difficulty: 2 of 5
I am holding a collection of items in my hands.
I throw two of the items away.

I want to divide it into different groups, but I can only see one half of each item in my hands.

I can easily divide the items into the same amount of groups:

    as there are day and night.
    as there are seasons.
    as there are lunar months.
    as there are weeks in the year.
If I add up all the values together,
I get the amount of days in a year (minus 1 for the two items I threw away.)

What do I have?

You have a good hand, I think. One could say you're holding all the cards...

Good one! I'm not sure about the lunar months, though. The Jewish calendar is lunar, and it has 13 months only on leap years. I think it's 12 1/3 lunar months in a solar year, or there abouts.
