Explanation

Identify the type of each year:

2009: Ordinary year (365 days) 2010: Ordinary year (365 days) 2011: Ordinary year (365 days) 2012: Leap year (366 days) 2013: Ordinary year (365 days) 2014: Ordinary year (365 days) 2015: Ordinary year (365 days) 2016: Leap year (366 days) 2017: Ordinary year (365 days) 2018: Ordinary year (365 days) Calculate the cumulative odd days from 2009 to each subsequent year:

2010: 1 odd day (2009) 2011: 11 (2009) + 11 (2010) = 22 odd days 2012: 22 (from previous) + 11 (2011) = 33 odd days 2013: 33 (from previous) + 22 (2012) = 55 odd days 2014: 55 (from previous) + 11 (2013) = 66 odd days 2015: 66 (from previous) + 11 (2014) = 77 odd days = 00 odd days (since 7 is a multiple of 7) 2016: 00 (from previous) + 11 (2015) = 11 odd day 2017: 11 (from previous) + 22 (2016) = 33 odd days 2018: 33 (from previous) + 11 (2017) = 44 odd days

Since the cumulative odd days from 2009 to 2015 total 7 (a multiple of 7), 2015 has 0 odd days relative to 2009. This means 2015 shares the same calendar as 2009.
