Question
If the 30th January 2003 was Thursday, what was the day on 2nd march, 2003?
Solution
To find the day of the week for March 2, 2003, we can start from January 30, 2003, which we know was a Thursday.
Step 1: Calculate the remaining days in January. January has 31 days, so there is 1 day left.
Step 2: February 2003 had 28 days because it was not a leap year.
Step 3: Add the 2 days of March.
Step 4: Add all these days together: 1 (from January) + 28 (from February) + 2 (from March) = 31 days.
Step 5: Divide the total number of days by 7 (since a week has 7 days) to find out how many days are left over: 31 % 7 = 3.
Step 6: Now, count three days from Thursday (January 30, 2003). Friday would be 1 day, Saturday 2 days, and Sunday 3 days.
So, March 2, 2003, fell on a Sunday.
