I have something more general from my class. Here it is: A. Take the last two digits of the year B. Add a quarter of this number (neglect the remainder) C. Add the day of the month D. Add according to the month: Jan 1 Feb 4 March 4 April 0 May 2 June 5 July 0 Aug 3 Sept 6 Oct 1 Nov 4 Dec 6 E. Add for century 18th 4 20th 0 19th 2 21st 6 F. Divide total by 7 G. The remainder gives day of week: Sunday 1 Monday 2 Tuesday 3 Wednesday 4 Thursday 5 Friday 6 Saturday 0 This should work for any day between the years 1700-2099. Maybe you could figure out the exact formula you needed from this.
