   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,...

   Luckily, there exists a method, devised by John Conway, to calculate the day of the week of any given day, known as The Doomsday Algorithm. With a little memorization and some practice, you can calculate an answer without needing a phone or an online calendar.

   3 main steps. Century anchor day. Doomsday for that year. Nearest day. Notation. Easier to work with DoWs as numbers. Sunday (0) Monday (1) ... Saturday (6) Century Anchor Day. Remember the 400-year cycle? Two ways to calculate anchor: [1] (5 * (c mod 4)) mod 7 + 2. c = ⌊year/100⌋. • Gives us our starting count.

   Conway’s Doomsday Rule The rule referred to is a calculational procedure or mnemonic for determining the day of the week from the date. For simplicity we restrict ourselves to the 20th and 21st centuries, although one can also apply the method to earlier times. We associate each day of the week with one of the numbers 0 through 6, as follows ...

   The Doomsday Algorithm is an algorithm in which you can put in any date and nd out what day of the week it fell on. This algorithm was rst invented by Carroll but then Conway simpli ed it when he came up with the Doomsday rule. The Doomsday rule establishes a date that you can base all other dates o of to nd what day it landed on much quicker.

   Apr 26, 2020 · Doomsday method: Year code = 0, Century adjustment = 2, so Doomsday was a Tuesday in 1900. Closest Doomsday = Jan. 4 (since 2000 is a leap year), so January 30 (26 = 28 – 2 days later) was a Sunday.

   What is the Doomsday rule?

   • The Doomsday rule is a method devised by John Conway for computing the day of the week of any given date. The method is based on ̄rst computing Doomsday, which is the day of the week of the last day of February. First of all, we need a method of numbering the days of the week. We regard Sunday as Day 0, Monday as Day 1, Twosday as Day 2, etc.

   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)

   How do you calculate a doomsday?

   • Determine the "anchor day" for the century. Use the anchor day for the century to calculate the doomsday for the year. Tuesday = 1600, 2000,... Sunday = 1700, 2100, ... Friday = 1800, 2200, ... *Wednesday = 1900, 2300, ...

   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).

   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.
