I'm tempted to say one. But I fear there's a trick to this. Is it one day
of six months and one night of six months or between the two light and dark
periods might there be a few ...'days' of sunrise/sunset?

Correct.... I was under the impression it was a few days of sunset and
sunrise.... but there is only one complete sunrise and one complete sunset
per year..... I lost a bet on that one..... care to guess the dates? ;-)
