# Month Offset

Write a function to give you the "month offset" given a number
representing the month. This refers to the day of the week the month starts on (months don't all start on a Sunday, but throught the week). You can get the month offset from the following table:


| Month | Month offset |
| - | - |
| 1 |1 |
| 2 |4 |
| 3 |4 |
| 4 |0 |
| 5 |2 |
| 6 |5 |
| 7 |0 |
| 8 |3 |
| 9 |6 |
| 10 | 1 |
| 11 | 4 |
| 12 | 6 |
| anything else | -1 |

Of course, here's the starter code to test your function.


```eval_rst
* :download:`month_offset.py <examples/month_offset.py>`
```

```
Offset for month 1: 1
Offset for month 2: 4
Offset for month 3: 4
Offset for month 4: 0
Offset for month 5: 2
Offset for month 6: 5
Offset for month 7: 0
Offset for month 8: 3
Offset for month 9: 6
Offset for month 10: 1
Offset for month 11: 4
Offset for month 12: 6
Offset for month 43: -1

```
