There is a well known aide-memoire which states that christmas day and new years day fall on the same day of the week. However in 2000 christmas day was on a Monday and New years day was on a Saturday. Why didn't the rule work?

The first day of 2000 was a Saturday. The rule works between 2000 and 2001. New year's of 2001 was indeed a Monday.

Because they're supposed to be talking about new years day 2001

Too easy

Some people wish they could have a birthday every day. Technically there is a place where this is possible. Where?
