Given is a list with 2004 statements:
1. Exactly one statement on this list is false.
2. Exactly two statements on this list are false.
3. Exactly three statements on this list are false.
...
2004. Exactly 2004 statements on this list are false.
a) Determine which statements are true.
b) Replace "exactly" by "at least". Again, determine which statements are true.

How to encode the answer? If no statements are true, write the word 'NONE'
(without the quotes). Otherwise take the set of true statements and write it
as a set of ranges. E.g. the set {1,2,3,7,9,100,101} is encoded as
1-3,7,9,100-101

- the ID of this puzzle
- your exact answer
century
Puzzle ID: century
The twentieth century ended on 31. 12. 2000, which was a Sunday. Looking into
the future, on which days of the week won't any century ever end?
Remember that leap years are those divisible by 400 plus those divisible by 4
but not by 100. (1996 was a leap year, so was 2000, but 2100 won't be a leap
year and neither will 2047.)
The answer for this puzzle consists of two lines, containing respectively:
- the ID of this puzzle
- the days of the week on which no century will ever end
The exact form of the answer is a comma-separated list of three-letter
abbreviations of the days in the order in which they appear in a week. E.g. if
the answer were Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, write the string 'Mon,Tue,Wed'
(without the quotes).
