Answer
Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
Answer (E): A non-leap year has 365 days, and $365=52\cdot 7+1$, so there are 52 weeks and 1 day in a non-leap year. Because May 27 was after leap day in 2008, Marvin’s birthday fell on Wednesday in 2009, and will fall on Thursday in 2010 and Friday in 2011. His birthday will be on Sunday in the leap year 2012, Monday in 2013, Tuesday in 2014, Wednesday in 2015, Friday in 2016, and Saturday in 2017.
答案(E):平年有365天,并且 $365=52\cdot 7+1$,所以平年有52周零1天。因为2008年的5月27日在闰日之后,所以Marvin的生日在2009年是星期三,在2010年是星期四,在2011年是星期五。他的生日在闰年2012年是星期日,2013年是星期一,2014年是星期二,2015年是星期三,2016年是星期五,2017年是星期六。
