    Explanation

    16th July, 1776 = (1775 years + Period from 1st Jan, 1776 to 16th July, 1776)

    Counting of odd days :

    1600 years have 0 odd day.

    100 years have 5 odd days.

    75 years = (18 leap years + 57 ordinary years) =  [(18 x 2) + (57 x 1)] = 93 (13 weeks + 2 days) = 2 odd days


    1775 years have (0 + 5 + 2) odd days = 7 odd days = 0 odd day. 

     

    Jan   Feb   Mar   Apr   May   Jun   Jul  

    31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 16 = 198 days= (28 weeks + 2 days)
