Hello everyone. I will be very grateful for your help on this one.
I am trying to find the algorithm to search the calender and derive how many lets say - 8th Mays were Fridays from 1900 - 2014.
You will find out that 8th May, 1987, for instance was a Friday. etc.

I will be very grateful for any ideas. Thank you.

Hello Balav4. Thanx for the attempt, But I must say its rather the other way round.
I am not trying to find the day which is obviously very easy to do. I am trying to find the how many lets say - 8th Mays were Fridays from 1900 - 2014.
You will find that 8th May, 1987, for instance was a Friday. 8th May, 1981 was also a Friday.
Hope you get my point.
