Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Saturday or Sunday
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:Advancing exactly 100 years changes the weekday by +5 (ordinary block) or +6 (if the terminal century year is a 400-multiple). We apply this to a Monday start.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:From Monday, add +5 → Saturday (non-400 century) or +6 → Sunday (400-multiple). Thus two possibilities exist.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Determine whether the 100-year block ends at a 400-multiple year or not.2) Map the weekday shift accordingly: +5 or +6.3) Monday + 5 = Saturday; Monday + 6 = Sunday.Verification / Alternative check:Cross-check with known sequences around 1900/2000 to see Saturday/Sunday outcomes.
