INTRODUCTION EXAMPLE

First of all, we need a method of numbering the days of the week. We regard How to Find the Day of the Week For Any Date Ever?
Sunday as Day 0, Monday as Day 1, Twosday as Day 2, etc. 31st AUGUST 1957

WEEKDAYS First, find the years doomsday.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Noneday Oneday Twosday Threesday Foursday Fivesday Sixturday
0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Note that the days of the week follow the rules of addition mod 7. For exam-
ple, 4 days after Day 5 (Friday) is 4 + 5 ≡ 2 mod 7, or Tuesday.

DOOMSDAY BY MONTH
This means that the doomsday for the year 1957 is Thursday.
The Doomsday rule is a method devised by John Conway
for computing the day of the week of any given date. The JOHN CONWAY, 1973 Next, use the doomsday match with doomsday
method is based on first computing Doomsday, which is by month.
the day of the week of the last day of February.

JANUARY THE YEARS DOOMSDAY August —> 8/8

We know that the leap year is followed by 3 non leap years,
Index (day of
therefore, during leap years, January 4th is a doomsday and Century Anchor day
week)
in non leap years, January 3rd is a doomsday.
1800–1899 Friday 5 (Fiveday)
FEBRUARY 1900–1999 Wednesday 3 (Threesday)
Thus, Thursday (4) + 2 = 6 —> Sixturday.
Doomsday is February 28 or 29. In other words, Doomsday 2000–2099 Tuesday 2 (Twosday)
Saturday is the day of 31 August 1957!
