If the 3rd of June, 2003 was a Tuesday, then what would be the day of the week on the 10th of June 2012?
Solution
The starting date is June 3, 2003, which is a Tuesday.
The target date is June 10, 2012.
From June 3, 2003 to June 3, 2012 is exactly 9 years.
From June 3, 2012 to June 10, 2012 is 7 days.
To find the total number of days in 9 years, we need to account for leap years.
Leap years between June 2003 and June 2012:
- 2004 (Feb 29, 2004 occurs after June 3, 2003)
- 2008 (Feb 29, 2008)
- 2012 (Feb 29, 2012 occurs before June 3, 2012)
Number of leap days = 3
Total days from June 3, 2003 to June 3, 2012:
days
Total days from June 3, 2003 to June 10, 2012:
days
To find the day of the week, we find the remainder when dividing by 7:
This means 3295 days = 470 complete weeks + 5 days
Starting from Tuesday and adding 5 days:
Tuesday → Wednesday → Thursday → Friday → Saturday → Sunday
Therefore, June 10, 2012 is a Sunday.
The answer is Option 1: Sunday.
