Today is Thursday, the day after 59 days will be
- a.Sunday
- b.Thursday
- c.Friday
- d.Saturday
Answer: (A) Sunday
The days of the week repeat every 7 days. $59=7\times8+3$, so 59 days later is the same as 3 days after Thursday: Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Hence Sunday. Shortcut: divide the number of days by 7 and count forward by the remainder (the 'odd days'); a remainder of 0 gives the same day, which is why option (B) would need 56 or 63 days.
