Doomsday

Today, being February 1st I would like to put down one interesting fact, here.
In non-leap years, both february 1st and march 1st falls on the same day.
This is due to the obvious reason that non-leap februaries have 28 days, and 28 being
exact multiple of 7...... chumma kosuru info...

What is so special about February 28 or 29? It is called the Doomsday and
it is used to find the day for the any given date/month/year..
The algorithm is, the so called, doomsday algorithm.

the following link gives very good explanation of the doomsday algorithm.
