Why the weekday changes
A common year is 365 days, one day more than 52 weeks. So January 24 moves on one weekday each year: Saturday in 2026, Sunday in 2027. The jump is two days when February 29 comes in between, so January 24, 2029 is a Wednesday, two on from 2028's Monday. Between 1901 and 2099, the whole pattern repeats every 28 years.
