What calendar date is most likely to be a Sunday for several consecutive years?

Watchkeeper

If I understand the question aright, no calendar date is most likely to be a Sunday for several consecutive years. This is because the number of days in the year, 365 or 366, is not a multiple of the days in a week, 7. Thus tomorrow, 8th May, is Sunday in 2011 but will be Tuesday in 2012 (2012 is a leap year), Wednesday in 2013, Thursday in 2014 and so on. Any given date simply cannot be Sunday for even 2 consecutive years, let alone several. May 07 11, 8:55 AM

This could be a trick question because it uses the term "most likely." It either is or it isn't. May 07 11, 11:07 AM

Hmmm... Easter? May 07 11, 2:30 PM

Easter doesn't have a calendar date. It can be anything from 22nd March to 25th April. May 07 11, 3:14 PM

Could be a misinterpretation of 'calendar date'. But Easter Sunday is permanently a Sunday, and Easter Monday permanently isn't. There's no 'several' or 'likely' involved, just 'is' or 'isn't'. Same goes for Whitsunday (tied to Easter's dates) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitsun - but hang on... There may be a trick. The 15th of May is always Whitsunday in Scotland even if it's a Friday.
