# The Missing 11th of the Month

This is the code behind a [blog post](http://drhagen.com/blog/the-missing-11th-of-the-month/) detailing why the 11th of the month (January 11th, February 11th, etc.) appears less often than other days of the month as pondered in an [xkcd comic](https://xkcd.com/1140/).
