Abstract
C.F. Gauss (1798), Rev. C.J.J. Zeller (1883) and Lewis Carroll (1887) were among the mathematicians of the l9th century who were fascinated by the calculation of how one obtains the weekday from a given date in the Gregorian calendar by some simple method. We present a history of the topic and state the results of the computations.
