The Otherweekendly Calendar is a variant of the Weekend Rest Calendar by Karl Palmen.
Weekends[]
Like the original calendar, Saturday and Sunday occupy the same date in the Otherweekendly calendar. That means a seven-day week counts for only six dates of the month.
All the months of the year have 26 dates except August (December in the Weekend Rest calendar). It makes them 30 days long if they have four weekends and 31 days long if they have five weekends (months starting on Friday or Saturday).
August has 27 dates which makes it 31 days long if it has four weekends or 32 days long if it has five (when it starts on a Thursday, a Friday or a Saturday).
Years starting with a Saturday always end on a Sunday, which makes them 366 days long. Other years are 365 days long unless they are leap.
Leap Years[]
Like the original calendar, the Otherweekendly calendar has a 62-year leap cycle.
The first year of the cycle begins on a Monday.
Years 2, 14, 30 and 48 of the cycle are leap years. They start with a Tuesday or a Wednesday (in the Weekend Rest calendar all leap years begin on a Wednesday).
When it is a leap year, December has 27 dates or 31 days. The year becomes 366 days long.
The average year length in the 62-year cycle is 365.2419355 days.
For additional precision there is a long 710-year cycle of eleven 62-year cycles and one 28-year half-cycle. That refines the average year length to:
Monday 1 January 2001 was the beginning of a 62-year cycle. Monday 1 January 1691 was the beginning of a long cycle.
