If it's Sunday on January 1st 2006 then on January 1st 2010 it's Friday.

Jan 2006 - Jan 2007 = 365 days
Jan 2007 - Jan 2008 = 365 days
Jan 2008 - Jan 2009 = 366 days( It's a leap year )
Jan 2009 - Jan 2010 = 365 days.
Total days = 1461 days.

1456 is divisible by 7 (There are 7 days in a week ) so the remainder is +5 for 1461. Which implies Sunday + 5 days = Friday.

Taking into account that every four years, there is a leap year. Every normal new year Jan1 moves one day within the week, while for the leap year, Jan 1 moves two days within the week. Therefore, Jan 1 will move to say 3 + 2 days. Then, Jan1 in 2010 will be FRIDAY.

Sunday had finally come for detective Kelvin Wallace.
It was the day of the auction.
He was an avid collector of antique items.
He was looking for something from the collection of a king, especially Louis XIV, as he did not have any of his items.
Finally, the collection of king Louis XIV came up for auction.
The first item was a bathing towel which was supposedly used every day by king Louis XIV.
Everyone was eager to get his hands on the old torn piece of cloth, but detective Wallace knew that it was a fake piece and decided to leave the auction hall immediately.
How did he know that the towel was fake?

Thinking about the treasure, the gringo forgot what day it was, so he asked four aborigines and got these answers:
A: Yesterday was Wednesday.
B: Tomorrow will be Sunday.
C: Today is Friday.
D: The day before yesterday was Thursday.
Because everything you need to know is how many people lied, I will not tell. What day of the week was it?
