#5My favorite part is that they designed a new calendar system where the months are named starting at one (Primilis, Secundilis, etc.) but numbered starting at 0. So Primilis is month 0, Secundilis is month 1, and Decilis is month 9.

Through sheer fatigue, you'll get nothing done on the 5th day (just like now), and certainly not the 6th.
