The 2nd of June is a Thursday in a certain year. Which day of the week is the 3rd of July in that year?
Answer: D
The 3rd of July falls on a Sunday.
Count the days from 2 June to 3 July. June has 30 days, so from 2 June to 2 July is 30 days, and one more day reaches 3 July: 31 days in all.
\[ 31 = 4 \times 7 + 3 \]
Four complete weeks bring the weekday back to Thursday, and the 3 extra days move it forward three places: Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Thursday would need a gap that is a whole number of weeks (28 or 35 days). Friday and Saturday are what a count of 29 or 30 days gives, for instance by stopping at 2 July instead of 3 July.
