Concept of ‘odd-days’

The concept of odd days is very important in determining the days of the week. Let us
look at how many odd days will there be in a century – i.e. 100 years. There will be 24
leap years and 76 non–leap years. As studied earlier each leap year and 2 odd days and
each non-leap year has 1 odd day. Therefore, there will be 24 × 2 + 76 × 1 = 124 total
odd days. Since 7 odd days make a week, to find out the net odd days, divide 124 by 7.
The remainder is 5 – this is the number of odd days in a century.
