Thanks Dave. People can't count!

On August 1st France will increase in size but only for six months. Explain?
There is an island called 'Pheasant Island' which is in the river Bidasoa, close to the Bay of Biscay and San Sebastian which has alternating sovereignty between Spain and France every 6 months, according to some treaty from 1659 - so I presume 1st August must be France's turn ?
