Re: Determine Day of Week

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

'Xact same question was asked not 2 days ago and answered.

Basically, figure out the day of the week for any one given day.
Determine number of days between the date you know, and the
date you don't know.

Divide by 7 and look at the remainder.  Remainder is the day of
the week.

Hmm... do we have a FAQ?  This question deserves a
FAQ if any did.  This is the third time I've seen this same
question in 2 or so months.
