Explanation: 1900 has 1 odd day. Next 94 years = 23 LY + 71 NY = 46 + 71 = 117 days = 5 odd days. Total to 1994 = 6 odd days. Days in 1995 to Dec 25: Jan(3) + Feb(0) + Mar(3) + Apr(2) + May(3) + Jun(2) + Jul(3) + Aug(3) + Sep(2) + Oct(3) + Nov(2) + Dec(25=4) = 30 = 2 odd days. Total odd days = 6 + 2 = 8 = 1. Day 1 is Monday.
#1796
