1st Boy Comes In: Everysingle Day...
May Has A Total Of 31 Days...so you have to start from march 31 and start counting 6 days...
2nd Boy Comes In: April:6,12,18,24,30 [April is just a count off to May], MAY:6,12,18,24,30
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
So The Boys Will Meet 5Total Times...
Hope That Helps!! :]]]]

April has 30 days and May has 31..
So Boy 1 will come all 31 days of May..
Boy 2 comes of March 31, April 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, May 6, 12, 18, 24, 30
He came 5 times in May and Boy 1 was there all 31.

they will meet 5 times since they started at 31 so:
31to 5 the 1st meet.
5to 11 the 2nd time
11 to 17 3rd meet
17 to 23 4th meet
23 to 29 5th meet.
thats it so no more meeting in this month since may is 30 day
