The question is wrong. Thanksgiving is always the 4th Thursday in November in the US. But you are stuck with it.

Answer 10

Yes. So if this year started on Monday, next year will start on what day of the week?

Answer 11

haha tuesday then ect
right ?

Answer 12

the fourth yr we will add also one extra day

Answer 13

@rational see this xD

Answer 14

Yes. So if the first day of the year is one day later in the week, then every corresponding date will be one day later in the week.

Answer 15

Thus if the 18 Nov was Thursday this year, it will be Friday next year. But the question is what date will be Thanksgiving.

Answer 16

cool >.<
so according to the question , next yr thanks giving well be on November 17
right ?

Answer 17

Yes. Notice I said both years were not leap years just to kick off the solution. You should see that it does not really matter if this year is not a leap year after March 1. We can pretend there was a non-leapyear calendar for this year.

Answer 18

@LarsEighner well thank you ^_^
hehe it was confusing me :P

Answer 19

I do genealogy and people's ages are given in years, months, and days but their year of birth may not be given on the tombstone. So this kind of question comes up frequently. What was x's bithday, given date of death and age in yrs. mos. and days.

Answer 20
