An interesting bit of Harmony in our world

I came across this bit of bizarre 'coincidence' about 10 years ago.



Its how the days of the month are in perfect harmony with the musical scale.

Start with F# as february, then count the months to the right, like this:
G = March
G# = April,

etc.

All the major notes are the months with 31 days.
All the minors have 30 days.

Except February which is the starting point.

Do you have Amway products to sell us or a "free personality test" as well?

Hey guys, don't make fun of this - it's a contest/game. I guess that whoever makes the most out of it wins. Or loses. Dunno.

I'm not sure if I said that correctly. The white keys have 31 days. The black keys have 30 days. (If f# is considered february)

Why would you arbitrarily pick F# to be February? Also, since most people's calenders start on January, why not say F is January.

Either way, it's a not-so-interesting coincidence, nothing more.

I don't think you said this correctly either... There's only one way to solve this.

Define "day".
