I'm aware that there is numerous systems for figuring out the day of the week at a
specific date, I've never bothered to learn any of them. I find myself in need of being able to define a birthday fairly quickly mentally. Because it's just for birthdays only 1910 to 2022 is important, can anyone recommend a formula to figure out this date quickly? Feel free to post here or pm me, thanks. |

The typical way you determine the day from the date is through an equation which takes into account the Month, Date, and year: Day of Week = Month Code + Date + Year Code (Mod 7) In your desired range, you still have to deal with each of these variables. So I don't see a way to simplify the approach. |
