Hehe... I guess both metsrock69 and countrygirl12 are correct depending on what is meant by "second".

The answer is 12. January 2nd, February 2nd, etc. If you're talking about the other meaning of "second", that would be too difficult for somebody to guess correctly off the top of their head. This was a good one.

All the people that guessed 12 are correct. January 2, February  2, March  2, etc. ;)

Could count all the twenty seconds in the months as well... if you are counting two as a second.  Twenty-two would be Twenty-second...  then there would be 24 total seconds. 2 & 22 of every month.

that is the hard part every year they actually *bleep* leap seconds to the time./

 Every now and then a leap second is added to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in order to synchronize atomic clocks with the Earth's ever slowing rotation.
