    I teach for AP Calculus and JEE Calculus.

    Here is a problem I ask my students
    — Feb 28 is picked for a random year. What is the probability that it falls on a Sunday?
    — Feb 29 is picked for a random year. Of course it has to be a leap year. What is the probability that it falls on a Sunday?

    The answer for the first question is 1/7.
    What is the answer for the second question?

    And The answer remains with you and only you 🤣

    These questions are a nightmare for me.

    No worries.
    Logic based problems are not for everyone.

    Adding more days to the year doesn't change the calendar days. So the answer is still 1/7. The same reason why when you flip a coin, every flip is a 1/2 you will get heads. The amount doesn't effect probably. If heads = h and tails = t, landing hththt is the same probably as hhhhhh, the more you flip tho, the more likely it will be 1/2. So even if I pick 7 random years and it turned out it it was sunday 6 out of 7 times, doesn't mean the odds was 6/7.

    Can I skip class for the rest of the day now?

    Your logic is correct. The answer is close to 1/7, but it is not same as 1/7

    Hint — leap year does NOT occur after every four years

    Is it > 1/7 but < 1/8 due to the year could also not be a leap year, thus Feb 29 never can happen?

    What's with 42 when the answer is obviously 63 for the dedi question.

    Leap year occurs 97 times in every 400 years.

    (97 / 400) * (1 / 7) = 0.034 or 3.4%
