Two years cannot be leap years continously and the year which is divisible by 4 only is a leap year.

2008=1600+400+8
1600=0 odd day
400 = 0 odd days
8 =8/4=2 leap year + 6 ordinary year
=2*2=4 + 6*1 =10
10/7=3 (Wednesday)

Since 2008 is a leap year. It has 2 odd days, so if January 1, 2007 was Monday, then Jan. 1, 2008 should be 2 days beyond Monday, which is Wednesday.

Dec 31 2006 Sunday = 0 odd day.

2007 will produce = 1 odd day.

2008 Jan 1 = 1 odd day.

Total = (0+1+1) = 2 odd day.

Number 2 mentions Tuesday.

2007 Jan 1 to 2008 Jan 1 is 1 year, which means 1 odd day, so it would be Monday +1= tueday.

The jump would have been by 2 if the date in the question was after feb.
