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.

What we write instead for 1900 if the date is 13 may 1666
For = 28+2+(2006-1900)+(2006-1900)/4.

Rule 1: Find the remind from complete years by dividing 28
i.e(2005/28 gives 17)
So consider 17 years as left.. it has 4 leap year
as general procedure code for that is 0
Rule 2: Same for month and date calculation :
(31+28+31+30+28)/7 it gives remainder 1
So code is 1
Total code is 1+0=1
Now,
MAGIC rule: add 6 in total cade
i.e (1+6=7)
So code is 7 means 0 means Sunday ! !
It can apply for any type of question...

Suppose we have 23days at this time find odd days?
Ans:
No of days is divisible by 7 then we get odd days.
23/7=2.
2 odd days.

It can be calculated in easier way:
2006 -> January - 31 = 31/7 = 3 odd days.
Feb- 28=28/7 = 0 odd days.
March - 31 =31/7 = 3 odd days.
April 30 = 30/7=2 odd days.
May up to 27 dayth : 27 / 7 =6 odd days.
Total: 3+0+3+2+6= 14 -> 14 /7 = 0 odd days.
0 i.e. Sunday.
Hence: answer = Sunday.
