Day code: 20.

Last two digits: 85.

Month code: 5.

Century code: 0.

Leap years: 1.

Total: 20 + 85 + 5 + 0 + 1.

Answer is Tuesday.

2000=0 odd day,
3 normal yr=3*1=3,
8 fabry= january 3 odd dys +8,
since day= 0+3+3+8=14/7=0.

The correct answer is Sunday.

Yes, This is the correct answer, MONDAY.
Because 2004 to 2005 is the ordinary year, so 1 odd day.
And Tuesday -1=Monday.

I got the answer as Monday.
