    Thursday = 4/7 = 0.571

    8pm = 20/24 = 0.833

    October = 10/12 = 0.833

    Saturday =6/7 = 0.857

    Unless you only count work days, then Thurs = 4/5 = 0.8

    I rest my case

      Thursday is 5/7 if you’re one of those uncivilized people who start the week in Sunday.

        I like to think of weekends like bookends, sandwiching the work week between freedom.

          To me the weekend is the end of the week. I don’t start the week on its end, so by elimination the week starts on Monday.

            But it also finishes on a Friday, so 4/5, not 4/7.

        Start it when it ends, turn it upside down, light the whole thing on fire. Pure anarchy.

      ok yes October being equivalent to Saturday makes much more sense. best day of the week = best month of the year

      Don’t some cultures start their calendar week on Saturday? If so then Thursday is 6/7 for that specific use case.

      The reason thursday is in the list is because of it containing the letter H. Check its position in the alphabet

    They’re all almost the end of the thing but not the very end. Of course they’re the same thing.

    I agree with October and 8 pm but not Thursday. Thursday is too yellow to be October.

    • @Klear

      October is way more yellow than Thursdsay.

        You’re right about October being burnt umber but it’s burnt umber, red, and other reddish orange hues. Thursday is like a bright yellow which is more like September.

    “Octo” in October means eight. Makes sense.

    I don’t know about Thursday, i dont feel the same connection.

    Wrong.

    Thur 4/7 October 10/12 8pm. 8/12

      Take out weekends and include all 24 hours of the day:

      Thursday 4/5 = 0.8
      October 10/12 = 0.833
      8pm 20/24 = 0.833

          Because it’s how Thursday feels relative to the work week. That’s why it feels related to the others intuitively.
