Another full run: what day was 15 August 2001?
Wednesday.
- Anchor (2000s) = Tuesday (2).
- Year 01: q = 0, r = 1, s = 0 → 2 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 3 = Wednesday (year's doomsday).
- The date: August's doomsday is 8/8 (Wednesday). 15 − 8 = 7, 7 mod 7 = 0 → 15 August is also Wednesday.
Check: 15 August 2001 was a Wednesday. ✓ Notice step 3 stays tiny because you count from the month's own doomsday date, never from the 1st.
