Day two is a Sun­day this year.

I can remem­ber as a kid using the dis­tress call : MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY to get help when our strat­egy games may have gone wrong.

Under­stand­ing MAYDAY

May­day is an emer­gency code word used inter­na­tion­ally as a dis­tress sig­nal in voice pro­ce­dure radio com­mu­ni­ca­tions. It derives from the French venez m’aider, mean­ing “come (and) help me”. It is used to sig­nal a life-threatening emer­gency by many groups, such as police forces, pilots, fire­fight­ers, and trans­porta­tion orga­ni­za­tions. The call is always given three times in a row (“mayday-mayday-mayday”) to pre­vent mis­tak­ing it for some similar-sounding phrase under noisy con­di­tions and to dis­tin­guish an actual may­day call from a mes­sage about a may­day call.
