That doesn't work. 13 does not divide evenly into the 365.24 rotations
the Earth performs as it revolves around the Sun once. Nor does 28
divide evenly into the 27 days and 8 hours that elapse for every cycle
of the moon.
13 does breakdown to leaving one extra day a year that would need to be
added to a month somewhere or left alone as month 14.
The moon concept would be harder to deal with than current daylight
savings time. Shifting time by 16 hrs each month end.
Thanks for the statistics why our calander based on moon cycles is so
inappropriate.
Forget daylight savings time and all the other arguments, let the moon
cycles govern months (every 27 days and 8 hrs) and come up with
something more appropriate for syncing the earths rotation around the Sun.
Very off-topic but at least a learning experience.
