But centuries end on the 00 year and start on the 01 years. No century begins with a Sunday, Wednesday, or Friday. 1/1/2001-Monday 1/1/2101-Saturday 1/1/2201-Thursday 1/1/2301-Tuesday

An algorithm devised by John Conway known as the doomsday rule can be used to mentally compute the day of the week for a given date. It relies on the fact that the last day of Feb, 4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10, and 12/12 fall on the same day of the week (called the doomsday) in any year.

Doesn't the 21st century begin on 1/1/2001? I thought 2000 was the last year of the 20th century not the beginning of the new one.

Still controversial when the 3rd millennium started, New Year in 2000 or 2001. The logic to take 2001 is that "year 0" did not exist. In any case above observation is correct. Gregorian calendar, rotations are 2000: Sat-Fri-Wed-Mon 2001: Mon-Sat-Thu-Tue https://www.timeanddate.com/counters/mil2000.html …

That's wrong! The century begins in 01, not 00.

No, that's right it starts right after 11:59.99, of the century that's about to finish.

But didn't we agree that the century started on 1/1/2001? Or it's not the case?

Not only that, but most centuries start without most people wearing pants!
