- 126 dec, 1995 = (1994 years + Period from 1.1.1995 to 26.12.1995)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = (5 x 3) -14= 1
94 years has 23 leap years + 71 ordinary years.
Number of odd days in 97 years ( 23 x 2 + 71*1) = 118 = 5days
1.1.1995-26.12.1995=365-26=239 days
239 days = 1 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 5+1+2+ 0) = 9 days=2 odd days
