The year 2011 is not a leap year, so it has only 1 odd day.
So, 1 day beyond wednesday, answer is thursday.

The year 2011is not a leap year but the 2012 is a leap year.
So the odd day is 2.
And the day will be 2 day beyond Wednesday is Monday.
So the odd day is 2.
And the day will be 2 day beyond Wednesday is Monday.

2009-2008 = 1.
And 1 leap year.
So,1+1 = 2.
Tuesday+2 = Thursday (correct).
And 1 leap year.
So,1+1 = 2.
Tuesday+2 = Thursday (correct).

That is completely incorrect. 2008 was a common year because it started on a Tuesday. That means January 1 2009 was a Wednesday.

All of you are incorrect. Look, the rule on the calendar is that when a year divisible by 4 starts on a Tuesday is NOT a leap year.
January 1, 2008, was a Tuesday, Tuesday + 1= Wednesday. January 1, 2009, was a Wednesday (absolutely correct).
January 1, 2008, was a Tuesday, Tuesday + 1= Wednesday. January 1, 2009, was a Wednesday (absolutely correct).

Simply,
Divide this year by 4 i.e. 2008/4. It is divisible so we got to know that it is a leap year and leap year has 2 odd days as 366/4=52 weeks and 2 days. So the day will be 2 days ahead. So Tuesday + 2 = Thursday.

I had a doubt. From 1st Jan 2008 to 31st December 2008 is 366 days. So checking divisibility by 7, we get 2 odd days. So we can say that the last 2 days of the year (i.e. 30th and 31st Dec 2008) will be Wednesday and Thursday.
So from the question, actually 1st-Jan-2009 should be the next day i.e. 'Friday' right?
Please correct me if I am wrong!
