Remember 2022 Calendar From a Story

H.D. Motiramani

5 cricket loving friends boarded a bus whose number was 11. They went to a hotel named 4 Square. The topic discussed was cricket. On that day, India in their test cricket against Newzealand had scored only 62 runs in their first inning. A friend asked another, alright, forget this small total, do you know any Indian who scored 403 runs all alone in a single inning in any test cricket? The reply came that I am unaware of this but do know that one of the Indian players scored a total of 513 runs total in both the innings in one of the tests played in England and that match went in a draw.

Well, the story ends here, but tells us the numbers that have figured in this story. The numbers are 5 11 4 62 403 513. Try to remember by heart the numbers 5 1 1   4 6 2   4 0 3   5 1 3 because this is your calendar for the year 2022. Each number corresponds to a code for each of the month respectively from January to December.  For example 5 is the code for January. Next is 1 and that is the code for February. The code for March is 1 again. Likewise the code for October is 5, November is 1 and the last number 3 is the code for December.  

Let us see the use of these codes. It is very simple. Add the respective code to the date in question. For example: if we want the day of 15^th August 2022, look for the code for august. It is zero. So 15+0=15.  If we divide this number 15 by 7, the remainder will be 1 which means first working day of the week that is  Monday. Let us see some more examples, say 26 January, 2^nd October and  31^st December 2022.

1) 26^th January…..  Code for January is 5,  So 26+5=31 divided by 7 gives 3 as remainder which means Wednesday.

2) 2^nd October……. Code for Oct is also 5, So 5+2=7 divided by 7 gives 0 remainder meaning that it will be a Sunday.

3) 31^st December… Code for December is 3, So 31+3=34. Divided by 7 gives 6 as remainder means Saturday.

In nutshell, the formula for 2022 calendar is ADD THE CODE OF RESPECTIVE MONTH TO DATE IN QUESTION,  DIVIDE BY 7 AND LOOK FOR REMAINDER. Remainder will be day of the week. Remember the Codes:
