Show the answer and the worked solution
Correct answer: B. Friday
Worked solution
- From 10 June to 10 July is 30 days.
- 30 ÷ 7 leaves 2, so advance two days from Wednesday.
- That gives Friday.
Answer: Friday.
The idea
Month lengths give the odd days directly: a 30-day month advances 2, a 31-day month advances 3, and February advances 0 or 1.
Shortcut. Four weeks after 10 June is 8 July, again a Wednesday; 10 July is two days on — Friday.
Common trap. "Saturday" — giving June 31 days, which adds 3 odd days instead of 2.
