Weekday after 59 days — Today is Thursday; what day will it be 59 days from today?

Introduction / Context:Again, reduce the day count modulo 7 to find the net shift from the given weekday. This is a straightforward application of periodicity.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Start day: Thursday.
• Advance: 59 days.

Concept / Approach:Compute 59 mod 7. Since 7 × 8 = 56, the remainder is 3. Move forward three days from Thursday to reach the target weekday.

Step-by-Step Solution:Remainder = 59 − 56 = 3.From Thursday: Friday (1), Saturday (2), Sunday (3).Therefore, the target day is Sunday.

Verification / Alternative check:59 = 8 weeks + 3 days; eight weeks preserve the weekday; +3 shifts to Sunday.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Monday (+4), Tuesday (+5), Wednesday (+6) do not match remainder 3.

Common Pitfalls:Subtracting 3 instead of adding 3, or accidentally using 60 instead of 59.

Final Answer:Sunday
