4. How Long Does Phil Spend Trapped Reliving The Same Day?
Simple, but profoundly engaging, this is the age old question that drives Groundhog Day's success, as well as the morbid fascination with the darker possibilities of eternal resetting life that I will come to mention. We know the film implies a long time passes, because of some of the things Phil manages to achieve, from mastering ice sculpture to becoming an expert at card throwing, but exactly how long does Phil actually spend reliving the day over and over?
The Answer 33 years and 350 days It's a lot more fun

the actual working out of the numbers (which may all seem a little odd without their explanations.)
