What day of the week is February 29?
In 2028 it is a Tuesday. The weekday is not a property of the date itself, it is a property of the date in a given year, so the honest answer always names the year. Because February 29 only exists in leap years, it recurs every four years rather than every year, and the weekday moves forward five places each time: a common year advances the weekday by one and a leap year by two, and four years bring one leap day with them.
