How many complete weeks are in a year?

A calendar year has more than 52 weeks, but the remaining weeks are incomplete. A calendar year begins on the first day of January and ends on the last day of December. If the first day of January is a Saturday, then the next week begins on the second day of January. In such a situation, if it is a leap year, the last day of December is also a new week. Technically, this makes 54 weeks in the calendar year. Such situations are rare; the calendar year 2000 had 54 weeks.

I did the math and though there are 52 weeks there is but just one day left over unless the year happens to be a leap year. Then there are 2 extra days.

Tom Moberg, at the time Steve posted, it probably was right. At the time you posted -TWO YEARS later, it was a different percentage. Now, a further year later, it shows 87.9% got it right. You see, it varies depending on when you see this quiz. JUST SAYING...🙄🙄
