12. Can you find other magic patterns in the calendar?
Ans. Let us examine the addition of horizontal lines having seven numbers
4 + 5 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 49 = 1 x 49
11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 = 98 = 2 x 49
18 + 19 + 20 + 21 + 22 + 23 + 24 = 147 = 3 49
25 + 26 + 27 + 28 + 29 + 30 + 31 = 196 + 4 49
