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
- This is publishable.
  
  This counts as peer review ^^
- 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.
  
  Start it when it ends, turn it upside down, light the whole thing on fire. Pure anarchy.
- Rocksolid argument.
- 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.
- They're also round, warm colored, and soft/smooth. I will not be taking follow up questions.
  
  Sounds like someone has synesthesia.
  
  Thursday is like this.
  
  I literally cannot for the life of me explain why.
  
  But خميس? The name of Thursday in my native Arabic?
  
  Ah but Jeudi, the French name. Sun high in the sky. Very round.
  
  I cannot even begin to explain.
  
  I see them as all darker colored, like a sunset but not quite night.
  
  Really ? that's too funny... to me they're warm, a bit soft, balanced & fair, and very finely textured
  
  bouba, not kiki
- This broke me. The dot … over the i. That broke me. I’m … I’m done.
I agree with October and 8 pm but not Thursday. Thursday is too yellow to be October.
- October is way more yellow than Thursdsay.
  
  October is Blue
- October is too golden and burnt umber to not be Thursday.
  
  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.
- Thursday is purple though.
Is there a word for the thing before the penultimate? Because that would be it.
- antepenultimate
  
  And following (or preceding) that, there is: preantepenultimate and propreantepenultimate.
  
  I like it
"Octo" in October means eight. Makes sense.

I don't know about Thursday, i dont feel the same connection.
- "Octo" in October means eight.
  
  Well it did, then some assholes named Julius and Augustus had to fuck it up. Somebody should stab one of those fuckers
  
  Common misconception.
  
  July and August were renamed. The original names were derived from five and six. The extra two months that threw everything off were January and February. When 5-10 were named January and February didn't even have names, it was just that cold period when there was no planting or harvesting. There were a bunch of other changes to the calendar over the centuries before we got where we are too.

  I have some fantastic news for you
It feels more like 7pm to me
I know October kind of implies this but I'd add Halloween to this group.
Oh I get it, mid to late year, mid to late week, and mid to late in the day.
Eerie?
