Day of the Week Finder

Day-of-Week Finder

Discover the day of the week for any date! (Although remember, this technique only works for the Gregorian calendar. If your date is before 1582, it's the Julian calendar. Also note: England didn't change its calendar until 1752, and it probably wasn't the most laggardly nation.

Enter the month of the date you want to find in numeric form (e.g., January is 1, April is 4), then the day, and then the entire year (e.g., 1999).




 


The above script determines the day of the week using the "rule of eleven." It's a little difficult to learn, but after practice you can do it easily and wow all your friends. Get a thorough explanation and practice at doomsdayrule.com/
