All weirdness aside, it'll be my 41st birthday this thursday and I used this chance to dump out a chunk of my old humble keys. They all should work, but as we all know: old keys = 🤷♂️
I have more keys but to be perfectly honest, after a while I did not feel like copy pasting any more.

Happy birthday in advance and thanks for the extra-long train and all the nerdy factoids!
I'm especially impressed by the 2nd one. I didn't know what Euler's lucky numbers were. The fact that there are only 6 of them and that 41 is the largest one makes it pretty special.

While looking up random facts about 41 I read quite a bit of stuff I did not know. My favorite sentence I read was "In the mathematical branch of moonshine theory, a supersingular prime is a prime number that divides the order of the Monster group M, which is the largest sporadic simple group."

41 would be the average days a month, if we had a sensible but absurdly hard to apply 9-month year calendar.
The first planet discovered by the James Webb telescope is only 41 light-years away.
There's no planet with an orbit around the sun of 41 years, but Jupiters completes a rotation in 41% of an Earth day.
Happy early birthday!

Interesting. I personally somewhat like the idea of a neat 13 month calendar, with 28 days each. But then again, while I like the order that would create, I also like that my birthday wanders around the week cause if it falls on a work day I get a small present from my employer in the form of time of ;)

It would need that one month has 29 days, so your birthday, as it does now, will still shift one day per year (two on leap years).
I also like the idea, and having a tricember. (Yes I know december is named like that because previously it was the tenth month.)

The calendar idea I remember reading about had 13 months with 4 weeks a 7 days, all starting on the same day and one special day a year just called "year day" that was not considered part of a week or a month or anything. Fun idea but terrible for things like "weekly" events and stuff that happens 4 times a year suddenly does not fit nicely etc.
Seeing how very few things in normal life REALLY rely on a year being a proper year you could also just define the year as 364 days and then throw in a leap week every 6-7 years.
But those all are just insane ideas that it would NEVER be worth actually trying to implement anyway ;)

Happy Birthday Jan!
One more fact about 41 - there are more than 41 carts in the train

Some some reason I felt like telling you something about the number 41. And making some giveaways that end on the 11th...
41 is the sum of the first six prime numbers (2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13).
41 is the largest "lucky number of Euler" as the polynomial f(k) = k² − k + 41 yields primes for all the integers k with 1 ≤ k < 41.
41 is the sum of two squares, 4² + 5².
41 is the smallest integer whose reciprocal has a 5-digit repetend
41 is the atomic number of niobium.
+41 is the international direct dialing code for Switzerland, which is not where I'm from but close
EDIT: Scroll down for some more facts and a weird discussion about calendars and so some further for some music
EDIT2: 26 hours left and there are between 25 and 353 entries per GA. It's always interesting to see which games seem to have saturated the community and which haven't
