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?

A deck of playing cards is what you ar talking about where

Day and Night stands for Red and Black(the two colors of the four suits),

Seasons stand for the Four different Suits,

Lunar Months for: Ace, Two, Three, ........, Jack, Queen and King and finally,

Weeks in a Year stand for the 52 cards.
