In a regular year, if March 1st is a Tuesday, what day is November 1st?
(a) Monday
(b) Tuesday
(c) Wednesday
(d) Thursday
Explanation: The months of March and November share the exact same calendar because the cumulative sum of odd days between their starts is a multiple of 7. Thus, if March 1st is Tuesday, November 1st is invariably a Tuesday as well.
#162
If 12th March 2005 was a Saturday, what day was 12th March 2004?
(a) Thursday
(b) Friday
(c) Sunday
(d) Monday
Explanation: 2004 was a leap year, meaning it contained an extra day (Feb 29). Moving backward from March 2005 to March 2004 crosses this leap day. Therefore, we subtract 2 odd days instead of 1. Saturday - 2 days = Thursday.
#163
If 1st February 1920 was Thursday, what was the day on 5th March 1920?
(a) Tuesday
(b) Wednesday
(c) Thursday
(d) Friday
Explanation: 1920 is a leap year, so February has 29 days. Days remaining in Feb = 29 - 1 = 28. Days in March = 5. Total = 33 days. 33 mod 7 = 5 odd days. Thursday + 5 days = Tuesday. Wait, Thursday + 5 is Tuesday. Let me check the options. If the answer is Tuesday, I'll update it.
#164
If March 5 is a Sunday, what day of the week will April 5 be?
(a) Tuesday
(b) Wednesday
(c) Thursday
(d) Friday
Explanation: March has 31 days. The difference between March 5 and April 5 is exactly 31 days. 31 divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 3 odd days. Moving 3 days forward from Sunday lands perfectly on Wednesday.
#165
If 1st March is a Saturday, what day will be the 1st of April in the same year?
(a) Monday
(b) Tuesday
(c) Wednesday
(d) Thursday
Explanation: March always has 31 days. The number of odd days is 31 mod 7 = 3. Therefore, moving from March 1st to April 1st shifts the weekday forward by 3 days. Saturday + 3 days = Tuesday.
#166
If 1st March of a leap year is a Wednesday, what is the day on 1st March of the following year?
(a) Wednesday
(b) Thursday
(c) Friday
(d) Saturday
Explanation: Since the starting date is March 1st of a leap year, the extra leap day (Feb 29th) has already passed. The interval to the next March 1st crosses an ordinary February, totaling 365 days (1 odd day). Wednesday + 1 = Thursday.
#167
If 10th March 2003 is a Friday, what day of the week is 10th March 2004?

(b) Saturday

Explanation: 2004 is a leap year, and moving from March 2003 to March 2004 crosses February 29th, 2004. This creates a 366-day interval, which generates exactly 2 odd days. Friday + 2 days = Sunday.

A business pays $3,200 for rent covering the period from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019. What adjustment is required for the rent account as of the financial year-end on 31 December 2018?
