What day of the week was Eusebio born?

The key idea is that the day of the week for a birthdate comes from the calendar system in use and the exact date itself. For Eusebio, historical records give his birth date and place it on a Friday. When you follow that date through the calendar of his time (the Julian calendar used then), the weekday matches Friday. So that choice is the one that aligns with the actual birth date. If you tried to fit another day, it wouldn’t correspond to the recorded birth date. If you want to see the mechanics, you can use a day-of-week method (like the Doomsday rule) to compute the weekday from the birth year and date and you’ll arrive at Friday.
