Let x + y + z = k , now 2 8 k + 2 y + 3 z = 3 6 5 .
If k ≤ 1 1 , 2 y + 3 z ≥ 5 7 ⟹ y > 1 1 ∨ z > 1 1 which is impossible since k = x + y + z ≤ 1 1 .
If k ≥ 1 3 , 2 y + 3 z ≤ 1 ⟹ y < 1 ∨ z < 1 which is impossible since x , y , z > 0 .
Hence, 1 2 is the only possibility left and we indeed have:
2 8 days in February (except on leap years),
3 0 days in April, June, September and November,
3 1 days in January, March, May, Juli, August, October and December,
1 2 months in a year and
3 6 5 days in a year (except on leap years).
