Here’s that famous trick:
Clutch your hand into a fist. We’ll be relying on the base knuckles (the ones connecting each finger to the hand) for help.
Begin with the first base knuckle on your index finger, calling it January, then the ‘valley’ just before the middle finger, call it February. The next knuckle (on the middle finger) is March, the curvature next to it is April. Upon reaching July on the last finger, return to the index finger and continue with August. December would end on the ring finger.
Each bump represents 31 days and each valley represents 30 or 28 days.
