Ok I got as far as thinking theres 5 months from July to December,maybe thats the 5 :-\
then I looked at the 6, then the rest of the figures and :) gave up.
agree that The Year - July= 5 months remainingQuote:

so you add that 5+6+2 =13
then you subtract 7 either every time as it is the # of days in a week OR
you subtract that 7 as it is the number of the month you are in.
Now I shall try it with for example 9-11-2001 which was a Tuesday
3+8+1=12
12-7=5
5 is a Friday, which means I am doing it wrong.
or 12-9=3 then YES IT WORKS AS TUESDAY IS THE 3RD DAY.
ITV are showing a documentary about it
What time is it on?Quote:

I bought a dictionary once and on the back pages it had what it called a perpetual calendar with a simple chart and formula to calculate the day of any year/date. Maybe that can help...
