The doomsday algorithm was worked out by John Conway. It makes use of the fact that each year has specific dates that all fall on the same day of the week.
This day of the week changes based on the year, obviously, or the calendar would look rather dull. There's a skip of one day each year and a skip of two every leap year.
Once you figure out a year's doomsday, you can add and subtract to get to the wanted date. Neat shit.
