What was the day of the week on 28th May, 2006?
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.

If It is like that, Can anybody tell me what was the day on 1 Jan 1601 ?
When I calculate;
The 1600 year will have 0 odd days ( as it says 400 years has 0 odd days )
1 Jan i.e 1 odd day.
Total odd days till 1 Jan 1601 =1 odd day.
I.e. Monday ( As formula says 0 - Sunday, 1 - Monday ).
But the Actual day on 1 Jan 1601 was Thursday.
So, please explain me to get the solution.

Why not adding 800 to 1600 and calculate it up to 2004?
