peopple said 4. However, did anyone think that this question was unfair because it required one to know how many days are in June: A fact that everyone should know, but a piece of knowledge that requires knowledge that does not pertain to the SAT, an extraneous piece of knowledge?

How is that any different than not knowing the meaning of a word? Plus everyone knows the only month with less than 30 days is February. If it was 31 days the answer would be the same. I don't see this as an unfair question at all.

June has 30 days? haha wow. Got 4 though, so you are right about the answer being the same at least.
