This rare day deserves a post
You may think I'm talking about it being Leap Day (not sure if that's an official title), and I am—but it's more than that too. Today is payday at Doba. Since Doba pays out every 2 weeks that means February was a 3 payday month. Now 3 payday months happen twice a year so that's not a big deal, but the chance of it happening in February is very rare. Here's the brake down.
First it has to be a leap. Second the 29th has to be on a Friday. Third the 29th also has to be payday.
So mathematically there's a 1 in 4 chance it's a leap year, 1 in 7 chance the 29th is on a Friday, and 1 in 2 chance that that Friday is a payday. That means at Doba February wont be a 3 payday month again for 56 (4*7*2) years! It'll be 2064 next time. I'll be 84 years old. Come to think of it there is a really good chance I might not even be alive.
Go February! It's your time to shine.
