What Were They Thinking? — How Many Weeks in a Year?

“What Were They Thinking?” highlights products and presentations which just don’t make sense.

This is one of those subscription cards which annoyingly fall out of magazines; in this case, from The New Yorker.

Where I come from, there are 52 weeks in a year, not 46.  But maybe I’m making a bad assumption, and the magazine actually comes out once every eight days rather than every seven?  Or maybe they take off a week at Christmas each year, a week at Easter, and an entire month in the summer to go to the Hamptons?
