Determination of the day of the week Correction for Leap Year gives "3". Answer, "Wednesday".

Determination of the day of the week determined for the latter part of the analysis. By using a given day August 13, 2009 which was a Thursday as a reference, with "Base" and "n" being the number of days and weeks it has been since 01/01/0001 to the given day, respectively and "k" the day into the given week which must be less than 7, "Base" is expressed as Knowing that a year divisible by 4 or 400 is a leap year while a year divisible by 100 and not 400 is not a leap year, a software program can be written to find the number of
