October 2026 Problem of the Month

In the political cartoon below, which was published on September 1, 2026, there seem to be two errors.
The first error is 30,000 miles as the longest walk; the second is 2,104 days for the longest hissy fit.



Explanation of the cartoon:

The longest continuous spaceflight in history was 437 days aboard the Russian Mir space station, completed by cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov in 1995.

The longest recorded journey on foot is 34,000 miles, completed by Dave Kunst between 1970 and 1974.

Dean Karnazes, a renowned American ultramarathon runner, completed the longest nonstop run by a human in 2005, covering 350 miles (560 km) without stopping for sleep or extended breaks, taking 80 hours and 44 minutes to finish.

Donald Trump lost the 2020 election and has continued to claim that the election was rigged despite the lack of evidence supporting his claim.

If Donald Trump lost the election on Tuesday, November 4, 2020, and he complained about it until the day this cartoon was published (September 1, 2026), how many days would that be?

Solution to the Problem:

Here is the solution:

From November 3, 2020, to September 1, 2026, there are 2,128 days.
If you count both November 3 and September 1, it is 2,129 days.

So there are 2,127 days in between November 3 and September 1.

November 3, 2020 to December 31, 2020: 58 days
January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021: 365 days
January 1, 2022 to December 31, 20221: 365 days
January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023: 365 days
January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024: 366 days
January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025: 365 days
January 1, 2026 to September 1, 2026: 244 days
Total: 2,128 days
