Key Concepts:
1. Leap Year Concept:
- A year is a leap year if:
It is divisible by 4, and
Not divisible by 100, unless also divisible by 400. - Example:
2020 = Leap Year ✅
1900 = Not a Leap Year ❌
2000 = Leap Year ✅
2. Odd Days Concept:
- Odd days are the extra days left after counting full weeks in a given time period.
- 1 week = 0 odd days
- Used to calculate the day of the week for any date.
Standard Odd Days:
| Time Period | Odd Days |
|---|
| 1 ordinary year | 1 |
| 1 leap year | 2 |
| 100 years | 5 |
| 400 years | 0 |
3. Day of the Week for Any Date:
- Use reference date + odd days to find the required day.
- Example:
If 1 Jan 2001 was Monday, then 1 Jan 2002 = Tuesday (2001 is not a leap year → +1 day)
4. Same Calendar Year Repetition:
- A calendar repeats when the total odd days add up to 0.
- For normal years, same calendar repeats after 6 years.
- For leap years, after 28 years in general.
