Summary
A monster that wakes only once every hundred years is about to stir beneath HQ, and the agents have to pin down the exact day so they can lull it back to sleep. The clues are all about the calendar: a summer month with just 30 days, and a weekday — never a weekend. A fun bit of calendar detective work.

- How does "only on a weekday" help cross days off the list?
- How could you use a calendar to figure out a day from clues like these?
