1. Write down the last two digits of the year you were born.
2. Divide the number by four. Ignore any remainder (any number left over).
3. Look at the list of months above, and find the digit that represents your month.
4. Now write down the date on which you were born.
5. You now have four numbers. Add them all together.
6. Divide this number by seven. The remainder is the number that is equal to the day on which you were born. If there isn't a remainder you were born on a Saturday. (Look at the chart of days above, your remainder will be beside the day you were born.) |
