        Bro probably to account for leap Thursday’s. We have one every ~28k years to keep in alignment with the true solar week.

        That program better be using an existing date library, because otherwise it’s most definitely wrong.

          public string GetDayOfWeek(DateTime date) => "saturday";

          I also calculated it, his result checks out.

            Don’t be ridiculous, that would never pass QA.

            But this one will. Joy for years to come:

            public string GetDayOfWeek(DateTime date) {
                return ((date - new DateTime(1970, 1, 1)).Milliseconds / 86400000) % 7 switch {
                    0 => "Thursday",
                    1 => "Friday",
                    2 => "Saturday",
                    3 => "Sunday",
                    4 => "Monday"
                };
            }
