The basic approach of nearly all of the methods to calculate the day of the week begins by starting from an "anchor date": a known pair (such as 1 January 1800 as a Wednesday), determining the number of days between the known day and the day that you are trying to determine, and using arithmetic modulo 7 to find a new numerical day of the week.
Given a year with d days, the generalized birthday problem asks for the minimal number n(d) such that, in a set of n randomly chosen people, the probability of a birthday coincidence is at least 50%. In other words, n ( d ) is the minimal integer n such that
Or simply, using the simpler parameter names, compatible with {{Age in years, months and days}}: {{Age in years, months, weeks and days |month = 1 |day = 1 |year = 1 }} → 2023 years, 11 months, 2 weeks and 6 days; Alternatively, the first set of parameters can be left out to get the time left until a future date, such as the next Wikipedia Day:

The anchor day for the century was 94 days after Tuesday, or, in other words, Friday (calculated as 18 × 5 + ⌊ 18 / 4 ⌋; or just look at the chart, above, which lists the century's anchor days). The digits 61 gave a displacement of six days so doomsday was Thursday. Therefore, April 4 was Thursday so April 12, eight days later, was ...

February's 28 or 29 days is a problem, so the formula rolls January and February around to the end so February's short count will not cause a problem. The formula is interested in days of the week, so the numbers in the sequence can be taken modulo 7.
