Perpetual Calendar 2 (tables)


By means of the tables below, you can determine the day of the week for specific dates that might be of your interest. Just follow the easy instructions. First, locate the number at the intersection of the month column and day row in the table 1 (example: the column for June and the row for day 16th cross at the number 6). Then, locate the number at the intersection of the year column and century row in the table 2 (example: the column for year 77th and the row for century 18th cross at the number 3). Finally, locate in table 3 the letter at the intersection of both numbers you've found (here, numbers 6 and 3 cross at D). The letter D corresponds to Saturday (if the day of the week you're looking for is in January or February of a leap year, you have to bring forward of 1 day the result).

Per trovare un giorno della settimana, cercate nella tabella 1 il numero segnato dall'incontro della colonna dei mesi e della linea dei giorni; poi, nella tabella 2, il numero all'incrocio della colonna degli anni e della linea dei secoli... Infine, nella tabella 3, la lettera che si trova all'incontro delle due linee contrassegnate dai numeri che avete trovato. Ogni lettera corrisponde ad un giorno.

Perpetual Calendar 3 (calculate it!)

The following formula - named Zeller's Rule - allows you to calculate a day of the week for any date:
F = k + [(13 x m-1)/5] + D + [D/4] + [C/4] - 2 x C
k is the day of the month. Let's use January 27, 2024 as an example. For this date, k = 27.
m is the month number. Months have to be counted specially: March is 1, April is 2, and so on to February, which is 12 (this makes the formula simpler, because on leap years February 29 is counted as the last day of the year). Because of this rule, January and February are always counted as the 11th and 12th months of the previous year. In our example, m = 11.
D is the last two digits of the year. Because of the month numbering, D = 23 in our example, even though we are using a date from 2024.
C stands for century: it's the first two digits of the year. In our case, C = 20.

Now let's substitute our example numbers into the formula:
F = k + [(13 x m-1)/5] + D + [D/4] + [C/4] - 2 x C
= 27 + [(13 x 11-1)/5] + 23 + [23/4] + [20/4] - 2 x 20
= 27 + [28.4] + 23 + [5.75] + [5] - 40
[dropp every number after the decimal point]
= 27 + 28 + 23 + 5 + 5 - 40 = 48.
Once we have found F, we divide it by 7 and take the remainder (if the remainder is negative, add 7). A remainder of 0 corresponds to Sunday, 1 means Monday, etc. For our example, 48 / 7 = 6, remainder 6, so January 27, 2024 will be a Saturday. Then, have a nice week-end!
