2. March, May, and August all have 31 days. Yet one of the months is shorter than the others.Which one - and why? (There are two answers - one much simpler than the other.)

Answers:

1) 88 (eighty-eight) 

2. Simpler answer: May - because it is spelled with the fewest letters
    Second answer: March - because the clock is turned back for DST - making March one hour shorter than the others
