There should be 13 month in a year and 28 days in a month. The middle of the night should be midnight and the middle of the day noon. The first day on the moon should be the first day of the month and the last day of the moon should be the last day of the month.
That doesn't work. 13 does not divide evenly into the 365.24 rotations the Earth performs as it revolves around the Sun once. Nor does 28 divide evenly into the 27 days and 8 hours that elapse for every cycle of the moon.
Too true, but then it is a much simpler plan to have 13 month year (with 1 "extra" day) than it is to remember 30 days hath September, April, June etc. etc. Though it is impossible to believe it'll ever change anyway. Kind of like the English spelling problems!
