Discussion
On 8th Feb, 2005 it was Tuesday. What was the day of the week on 8th Feb, 2004?
Answer: C
The year being crossed here contains a 29 February, so the shift is two days rather than one.
From 8 February 2004 to 8 February 2005 the span includes 29 February 2004, making it 366 days:
\[ 366 \equiv 2 \pmod 7 \]
Stepping back from the given Tuesday:
\[ \text{Tuesday} - 2 = \textbf{Sunday} \]
Subtracting only one day, the reflex from ordinary years, gives Monday - the trap this question is built around.
