Explanation

February 24 is Sunday. The Fridays in February 2024 (leap year) would be: Feb 2 (1st Friday), Feb 9 (2nd), Feb 16 (3rd), Feb 23 (4th), Feb 29 (5th). Wait, if Feb 24 is Sunday, then Feb 23 is Saturday, Feb 22 is Friday... Let me recount: If Feb 24 is Sunday, then the Friday of that week is Feb 21. Counting back: Feb 21 (4th Friday), Feb 14 (3rd), Feb 7 (2nd), Jan 31 (1st). So Feb 28 is Thursday, Feb 29 is Friday - this would be the 5th Friday of February.
