SOLUTION:

FORTY in all. The calendar would require:

  • 31 blocks for the numbers 1 through 31
  • 2 “split date” blocks reading ”23/30″ and “24/31″ (for 31-day months beginning on Friday, or 30- or 31-day months beginning on Saturday, see sample below)
  • 7 “blank” blocks (all would be used in a non-leap-year February)
