What was the day of the week on 28th May, 2006?
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Answer: Option
Explanation:

28 May, 2006 = (2005 years + Period from 1.1.2006 to 28.5.2006)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 400 years = 0

5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 x 1 + 1 x 2) 6 odd days

Jan.  Feb.   March    April    May 
(31 +  28  +  31   +   30   +   28 ) = 148 days

148 days = (21 weeks + 1 day) 1 odd day.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 0 odd day.

Given day is Sunday.

2011 year code will be 6. How can you explain this ?

Naveen said:   1 decade ago
Hello friends,

I think I have a better sollution. (I haven't read earlier sollutions, so if it is already here, then sorry and credit to the earlier post)

Remember this code for months
622503514624 (Jan, Feb, March,....Dec, for common years)
512503514624 (for leap years, jan code will be 5 and Feb code will be 1, that is the only difference in this code, It should be easy as we remember lots of mobile nos)

Then you'll have to remember years code.
for example 2011 year code will be 6
11+(leap years in 1st 11 years = 2)
so, 11+2 = 13/7, remains 6,the year code (for 2012, year code will be 1 (12+3= 15/7, remains 1)

Days code will be 0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday..like that!
For calculating day the formula is
Year code + month code + date
for example 18th October 2011
year code (6)+month code (6) + date (18)= 6+6+18 = 30/7..remains 2 means Tuesday

Do remember please, you'll be adding extra 0 for centuries divisible by 400 (say 2000), 5 for next century (2100), 3 for another next (2200) and 1 for just after that century (2300), and then 0 agian for 2400!

PS: I'm sorry but I'm not very good in explaining things. But this formula is doing wonders for me! Any help in this case..please contact me naveen.dhanerwal(at)gmail.com

Have a nice day!

I am not getting this odd days. Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 0 odd day.

Can you please explaine me?

When we divide the number of days of a year with 7 it gives the number complete weeks in that year,and the reminder of this gives the number of days which are remaining in the year.these days are called as odd days (i.e.an incomplete week).

One year = number of complete weeks+number of odd days.

Yes revathi I'm agree with you. Pavithra your example is wrong.

2006-1900=106 its not 16. If ok can you explain.

Yasar said:   1 decade ago
Please explain how the odd days of 400 and 1600 are 0 and the odd days of 300 is 15.
