Huh.

Never knew that.

Not so surprising. I'll bet in 1912, the majority of college classes started on the same Monday morning in this region of the country. Although... the odds that the same date was a Monday, 118 years apart... Maybe that IS more coincidental than I thought.

(118 years * 365 days) + 29 leap year days = 43,099 days

43,099 days / 7 = 6,157 weeks

So, since that particular 118 years was an exact number of weeks (with no partial weeks), they were both Mondays.

Even without the gap, the probability of any two random dates both being the same day of the week is 1/7.

I like someone who will take the time to go to this level of analyzation.
+3 for work ethic.
