A regular (non-leap) year has 52 weeks plus one day, and a leap year has 52 weeks plus 2 days. 52 * 5 (weekdays per week) equals 260. Therefore, any regular year that starts and ends on a weekday has 261 weekdays (all regular years start and end on the same day of the week). For a leap year to have 261 weekdays, one of the two days in addition to the 260 that are in 52 weeks must me on a weekday while the other is on a weekend. Therefore, only leap years that start on a Sunday (making Monday the last day of the year) or on a Friday have 261 weekdays.Number of weekdays in regular years that start on...Sun.: 260Mon.: 261Tue.: 261Wed.: 261Thu.: 261Fri.: 261Sat.: 260Number of weekdays in leap years that start on...Sun.: 261Mon.: 262Tue.: 262Wed.: 262Thu.: 262Fri.: 261Sat.: 260
