I've seen this "paradox" on the web many times now in more than one language and I've yet to see anyone posting the solution. The fact that it keeps getting reposted leads me to believe that people actually think this is a genuine paradox when in fact it doesn't take more than grade 8 math to figure out what is "wrong" (although, admittedly, it isn't obvious at first glance).

Ten 36-day months, each with five seven-day weeks. The last day of each month is a holiday. The left-over five/six days at the end of the year are a holiday. The year begins the day after the winter solstice so new year's eve night, the culmination of the year-end holday, would be the longest night of the year.
