Day of the Date

Here are some shortcuts/tips to find out the day of the week from the given date. You can play these trick as instructed, with your parents or friends and prove your talent to them.


Day of the Week:

January has 31 days. It means that every date in February will be 3 days later than the same date in January(28 is 4 weeks exactly). The below table is calculated in such a way. Remember this table which will help you to calculate.
January         0
February         3
March         3
April                 6
May                 1
June                 4
July                 6
August         2
September 5
October         0
November 3
December  5

Follow the following steps:

  1. Ask for the Date. Ex: 23rd June 1986
  2. Number of the month on the list, June is 4.
  3. Take the date of the month, that is 23
  4. Take the last 2 digits of the year, that is 86.
  5. Find out the number of leap years. Divide the last 2 digits of the year by 4, 86 divide by 4 is 21.
  6. Now add all the 4 numbers: 4 + 23 + 86 + 21 = 134.
  7. Divide 134 by 7 = 19 remainder 1.

The reminder tells you the day.
