To find the day just follow the steps:

1.Take the previous year of the date and divide it by 4.

2.Add the previous year with the remainder.

3.Count the number of days between the start of the year and the particular date.

4.Add it to the result obtained in step 3.

5.Divide it by 7 and find the remainder.

6.Using the remainder value find the day:

REMAINDER DAY

0 Saturday
1 Sunday
2 Monday
3 Tuesday
4 Wednesday
5 Thursday
6 Friday



For example:

Finding the day for the date 14th Feb, 2007:

1. Take previous year i.e. 2006 and divide it by 4. The answer is 501 (ignoring nos. after decimal place)

2. Then add 501 with 2006 which gives 2507.

3. Then count the days upto 14th Feb from 1st january which is 45 days.Add 45 with 2507 to obtain 2552.

4.Divide 2552 by 7 which gives 364 with 4 as remainder.

The remainder 4 specifies the Wednesday.

Hence the day is Wednesday.

TRICK TO MULTIPLY TWO DIGIT NUMBERS

8 comments - Post a comment


Here is a trick to multiply two digit number in a single step.Consider the example:

12*34

The first step is to multiply the last digit of the two numbers(ie: 2*4=8) to obtain the last digit of the result.

In the second step cross multiply the digits in the number and add it(ie:(1*4)+(2*3)=10).Now place the 0 in the second position of the result from the last and 1 will be kept as carry.

In the third step,multiply the first digit of the two number and add to carry(if any exist)(ie:(1*3)+1(carry)=4).

So the final answer is 408.

At first this method seems to take more time than the conventional method but once we train our mind to do this calculation it will be a best method.

 

SEARCH FOR A TERM IN FIREFOX LOCATION BAR

No Comment - Post a comment


When a user enters a search term in the Firefox location bar (address bar, awesome bar) it is determined if the entered term is an actual web address or a search term.
If it is a search term a search using the default search engine is performed. If it is a web address the web address is loaded directly.
Firefox assumes that all phrases that make use of a period are web addresses and will try to load them. This can be quite frustrating if a user wanted to look up a file name in a search engine.
You can test that yourself by entering prime.exe in the address bar. Firefox will try to load the website prime.exe even though the .exe domain extension is not existent.
There is no Firefox setting or add-on that can restrict the extensions to the known domain extensions but there is another way to directly saerch for terms with periods in Firefox using the location bar.
All that is needed is to place a “?” before the search term. While a search for prime.exe would result in a page not found error in Firefox a search for ?prime.exe would perform the search in the default search engine(http://search.speedbit.com) and deliver the desired result.

 

SHUTDOWN SCREENSAVER

Shutdown screensaver shutdowns the computer after 2 minutes when the computer is not in use.It works on all versions of Windows. It can be very useful if it happens often to you to forget turning off your machine.It displays number of seconds left to shutdown.This screensaver is not liked by all to install in their computers, since it (unfortunately) doesn't have any options other than brute-force shutdown.You can terminate the countdown by deactivating screensaver.
