Speaking of calculating the day of the week, I remember seeing someone on TV about twenty years ago who could correctly tell you the day of the week for any given date. I doubt they were doing such complex calculations, so they might have had a special method. If I recall correctly, it was a young boy with savant syndrome, so he might have simply memorized an incredible number of patterns...
