What was the day of the week on 28th May, 2006?

Correct Answer: Sunday

Explanation:

28 May, 2006 = (2005 years + Period from 1.1.2006 to 28.5.2006)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0


Odd days in 400 years = 0


5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 x 1 + 1 x 2) ≡ 6 odd days



Jan.  Feb.   March    April    May 
(31 +  28  +  31   +   30   +   28 ) = 148 days


∴ 148 days = (21 weeks + 1 day) ≡ 1 odd day.


Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 ≡ 0 odd day.


Given day is Sunday.
