Read Explanation:

When finding the day without reference date then formula will be: (Century code + Year code + Month code + Date code)/7

Day Codes:

Sunday 

Monday 

Tuesday 

Wednesday 

Thursday 

Friday 

Saturday 

0

1

2

3

4

5

6

Month Codes:

Jan = 0

Feb = 3

Mar = 3

Apr = 6

May = 1

Jun = 4

Jul = 6

Aug = 2

Sep = 5

Oct = 0

Nov = 3

Dec = 5

Century Codes:

1500 - 1599 = 0

1600 - 1699 = 6

1700 - 1799 = 4

1800 - 1899 = 2

1900 - 1999 = 0

2000 - 2099 = 6

2100 - 2199 = 4

2200 - 2299 = 2

2300 - 2399 = 0

Century code for 1800 is 2.

The year code can be found through (last 2 digit of year + (last 2 digit of year/4))/7.

(65 + (65/4))/7

Here remainder will be 4 so year code will be 4

The code for December is: 5

The code for the date will be date/7,

25/7

here remainder will be 4 so code for the date will be 4

Summing up,

(2 + 4 + 4 + 5)/7

Here remainder is 1 which is code for Monday.

So on 25th December, 1865 day will be Monday.

Hence, the day is Monday.
