Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
2100 is a century year not divisible by 400, so it is an ORDINARY year, beginning on a Friday.
Look for the next ordinary year beginning on Friday. Odd days: 2100 (1), 2101 (1), 2102 (1), 2103 (1), 2104 leap (2), 2105 (1). Total .
So 1 January 2106 is a Friday, and 2106 is ordinary: the calendar repeats in 2106.
Worth noting
2128 comes from treating 2100 as a leap year and using the 28-year rule. 2112 begins on a Friday but is a leap year.
