Here's a typical workaday problem for you finance types. Your account manager at the bank offers you this commercial paper with a nice yield that matures in 90 days.

How many days are there between today and September 8th?And here's one for you manufacturing types. A customer asks you if you can produce his order in 75 days. You know 75 days is easy, but you also know that you're committed to re-setup your production line for a different product variant by August 6. Do you have 75 days between now and August 6? And how about you romantic and sentimental types? "My wife's birthday is October 18. I wonder, does that fall ona weekday or a weekend this year? ... because that will determine whether I arrange a dinner at a fine resto in town or a weekend in Siargao."How have you been making calculations like these all this time?
