No I meant 7 days, Dave. In a normal year a date will move by one day of
the week from year to year. In a leap year it moves by two days of the
week. 2001 is indeed six years ago, so the date moves by one day for each
of those 6 years, plus an extra day for the one leap year in that period,
hence the date moves by 7 days, so in other words it's back to the same day
of the week.

Q.E.D.

I think you mean 7 years, but 2001 is six years ago, not seven?

2001 is the most recent. Easy to calculate, 6 years + 1 leap year = 7
days.

Today is 16 Mar, 2007 (Friday), does anyone know which historical year
will
offer 16 Mar on Friday? On the other words, which historical year will
offer
the same weekday on 2007 for everyday?
Thank for any suggestions
Eric
