Question from Darek: The question is the following: |
Hi Darek,
I can get you started.
There are 365 days in a year and 365 divided by 7 is 52 with a remainder of 1. 365 days after Friday April 4th 2014 it will be April 4 2015. That's 52 weeks plus one day after Friday April 4th 2014 so it is Saturday April 4, 2015.
2016 is divisible by 4 so the next year, 2016 is a leap year and hence there are 366 days in that year. What day of the week is April 4, 2016?
