Which weekday does this birthday fall on?
January 1, 2024 was the 1st day of 2024, in ISO week 1. A birthday moves forward one weekday each year and two across a leap year, so it cycles through the whole week over a seven-year span rather than repeating on a fixed schedule:

|---|---|---|
| 2026 | Thursday | 2 |
| 2027 | Friday | 3 |

Counting from January 1, 2024
Those 996 days include roughly 142 full weeks and about 3 complete years. The difference between the rounded figure and the exact one matters here: dividing 996 by an average year length gives 2.73 years, while walking real calendar months gives 2 years, 8 months and 22 days. Both answer slightly different questions, so both are shown above.
