I had that same thought, but my answer was to run it every week and let them
throw away the ones they don't want

I haven't been reading every post on this one (so many!) but the first thing
that popped into my head was that, with all the work you are putting in on
this, trying to come up with the perfect algorithm... you could probably
create your own "Number of Week" database for the next 10 years, keying it
in manually, in less time than it will take to test and perfect this "day of
week" algorithm.


I guess it depends on whether you are most interested in solving the problem
in a timely manner or doing it for the sheer fun of figuring out the
solution programmatically.
