In one day, 6 things.
What are the things?
Odd numbers.
In a day, there are 6 odd hours: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 (ignoring 24-hour time).
In a week, there are 4 odd-numbered days: 1, 3, 5, 7
In a month, there are 2 odd weeks: 1, 3 (no month has 5 full weeks)
And in a year’s 12 months, there is 1 odd number: 1 (the 1 of 12).
I readily agree the year one is a stretch, but I didn’t write it :)
