46 years have 11 leap years and

35 ordinary years = (11 × 2) + (35 × 1)

= 22 + 35 = 57 odd days

Up to 1946 there are 1 + 1 = 2 odd days

January 1947 = 3 odd days

February 1947 = 0 odd days (1947 is a normal year)

March 1947 = 3 odd days

April 1947 = 2 odd days

May 1947 = 3 odd days

June 1947 = 2 odd days

July 1947 = 3 odd days
