   Apr 26, 2020 · Doomsday method: Year code = 0, Century adjustment = 3, so Doomsday was a Wednesday in 1900. Closest Doomsday = Jan. 3 (since 1900 isn’t a leap year), so January 30 (27 = 28 – 1 days later) was a Tuesday.

   When advancing a century from a century you know the Doomsday for, go back two days, unless the new century is divisible by 400, in which case only go back one day. Use the anchor day for the century to calculate the doomsday for the year. Century Day: Tuesday = 1600, 2000,...

   How to use doomsday device to calculate day of the week?

   • In order to show you how to use your Doomsday Device to calculate the day of the week of any given date, let us first try a simple worked example: Rotate the slotted discs to expose three numbers that add up to the year, 2134. That is, 2100 + 24 + 10. Other numbers might appear in two of the slots. They can be ignored.

   What is the Doomsday algorithm?

   • Conway sought out to create an algorithm that was relatively easy and simple enough for people to learn and use on their own. His method was popularized nearly a century later in 1973. The Doomsday Algorithm takes advantage of the fact that our current calendar system, the Gregorian Calendar, repeats every 400 years.

   What are 'Doomsdays'?

   • Conway noticed that each year, there were certain dates that always fell on the same day of the week, which he called “Doomsdays” (DDs. For example, in 2021, October 10th, November 7th, and December 12th, all fell on a Sunday (full list on Table 1).

   Is Doomsday the last day of the week?

   • As a mnemonic for these, Conway suggests remembering that for January it’s the third day 3 years out of 4, and the fourth day every 4th year. And Doomsday is always the last day in February. Doomsday rule: Day of the week for Doomsday = Year Code + Century Adjustment (modulo 7)

   Why are there asterisks on Doomsday?

   • The asterisks are there because in a leap year, Doomsday will be 1/4 rather than 1/3 and 2/29 instead of 2/28. As a mnemonic for these, Conway suggests remembering that for January it’s the third day 3 years out of 4, and the fourth day every 4th year. And Doomsday is always the last day in February.
