Solka’s Universal Formula for Day of
Week Calculation
W = D + M
+ Y
Year Offset Y:
Y = [(5*X)7 * (Y int 4*X) + Y4*X + Y4*X int
4 –
Y int 100
+ Y int 400 – 1]7
W – day of week; Sun=0
… Sat=6
D – day
M – month offset; 0; 3; 3 / 6;
1; 4 / 6; 2; 5 / 0; 3; 5
for January – December
Y – year offset
Y – year
X – positive integer
lower index – mod

A partition of the year into "the century" and "the year
in the century" will get:
Y = 100H + E with H = Y int 100 and E=Y100
Which would correspond to the mathematical form:
Y = H + E
with H = [5 H + H int
4 – 1]7 and E = [E + E int
4]7
Year in Century Offset E:
E = [(5*X)7 *
(E int 4*X) + E4*X + E4*X int 4]7
H – century
E – year in century
H – century offset
E – year in century offset
X – positive integer
(1 … 25)
