    That's easy, Novem means nine, Decem means ten, so November is eleven and December 12. %-)

    October comes from Octo, therefore the Octobear has 8 edges and is the 8th Month of the year.

    but cause we are speaking about meatspace interaction, 12 is december cause humans usually start to count at 1

    Months start at 1, an array holding months starts at 0.

    Hence:
    months = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]

    puts months[11] == 12 ? "December" : "fuck this shit"

    What will it print?

    @mundo03 is correct. Anyone who represents December as 11 anywhere that is human-readable has a special place reserved for them in developer hell.
