If January 1, 2023 was a Sunday, what day of the week was March 1, 2023?

1. Wednesday
2. Thursday
3. Friday

Correct answer: Wednesday

Solution

From January 1 to March 1, the total shift is 31 days in January plus 28 days in February, i.e. 59 days. Since 59 leaves a remainder of 3 when divided by 7, the day moves forward by 3 days from Sunday, giving Wednesday.
