Q: How many days are between Martin Luther King Jr. Day and St. Patrick's Day?

58 days. Martin Luther King Jr. Day falls on Monday, January 18, 2027 and St. Patrick's Day on Wednesday, March 17, 2027, which is 58 days later — 8 weeks and 2 days, or 42 business days counting Monday to Friday only. The first day is not counted and the last one is, the same way a calendar counts a stay. Both dates are fixed, so the gap is the same every year apart from leap-year shifts in the weekdays.
