What day of the week is any date?
The weekday of a date is not fixed: it belongs to the date in a particular year. A common year of 365 days is 52 weeks plus one day, so a fixed date steps forward one weekday from one year to the next. A leap year adds a second spare day, so the step becomes two whenever 29 February falls inside the gap. Over 28 years the pattern closes and a date has visited every weekday four times, which is the cycle each date page counts out rather than assumes.
