Savaria is right. It's obvious. And this is not the first time I come across this format. I translated it many times.

However, when I asked this question, I was in the last hours of a 13-day long project, during which I've been working 12 hours a day.

I'd say I was stupid at this moment, but I was just exhausted.

That is to say that the dry spell starting in the year 1931, extended through 1932 and 1933 and into 1934. (40 month total).
