What is the total number of possible outcomes in the calendar?
- A.
14
- B.
13
- C.
12
- D.
11
Correct Answer
D. 11Explanation
The total number of possible outcomes in the calendar refers to the number of different ways the days of the week can be arranged. In a standard calendar, there are 7 days of the week. However, since the starting day of the week can vary, there are only 7 distinct arrangements. Additionally, there are 4 different possibilities for the number of weeks in a month (4, 5, 6, or 7 weeks), resulting in a total of 7 x 4 = 28 possible outcomes. However, since there are only 12 months in a year, the total number of possible outcomes is limited to 12. Therefore, the correct answer is 12.Rate this question:

On how many faces is the solution to the two-cube calendar established?
- A.
31 faces
- B.
30 faces
- C.
