A bargain for such quality journalism as "Long Lost 350 back at Work" - about 315850!!
That was an amusing, I don't think that little mistake takes anything away from magazine though.
I'd put money on it being a 3-monthly subscription rather than Quarterly.
That is quarterly.
My copy was delivered promptly on Saturday 18 February. It has "ISSUE 687" printed on the cover but "RAIL 690" printed on the other pages.
Quarterly, is an event (in England) that occurs on Quarter days:-
Quarterly just means every quarter of the year. How many months in a quarter of a year (the same spacing as in your list btw)? Exactly.

From the OED:
If that's the case it's a very weird one. Rent is due on 25th December?!

They haven't persuaded the courts yet that quarterly payments aren't due on or by quarter days.
On or by is the important part. There wasn't much worry about bank processing dates in the middle ages.

It's fortnightly. But 26 issues is certainly not the minimum conbtract; if you look at page 44 of issue 690 the quarterly option is available direct from Bauer Media.
