Question: If January 1, 1996, was Monday, what day of the week was January 1, 1997?

Solution:
The year 1996 is divisible by 4, so it is a leap year with 2 odd days.

As per the question, the first day of the year 1996 was Monday, so the first day of the year 1997 must be two days after Monday. So, it was Wednesday.
