Sammy's Work Week (Sammy's Working Week in the UK version) is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.
Puzzle
- US Version
"So let's say today is my day off. If yesterday wasn't also a day off, then I'm off again tomorrow. If, on the other hand, I was off yesterday, then tomorrow I'll have to work.
"Say I worked today. Bummer. If I didn't work two days before today, I'll have to head to work tomorrow. But if I did work two days ago, I'm off tomorrow. Yeow!"
Assuming a 365-day year, and ignoring weekends and holidays, use what Sammy said to figure how many days he works in a year.

"So let's say today is my day off. If yesterday wasn't also a day off, then I'm off again tomorrow. If, on the other hand, I was off yesterday, then tomorrow I'll have to work. Now, let's say I worked today. What a drag. If I didn't work two days before today, I'll have to head to work tomorrow. But if I did work two days ago, I'm off tomorrow. Yeow!"
Assuming a standard 365-year and ignoring weekdays and holidays, use what Sammy told you to work out the number of days he works in a year.

Sammy's lengthy and convoluted explanation may have been hard to understand, but his work schedule is simple. He works three days in a row, rests for two, and then repeats the pattern. Put a different way, Sammy works three out of every five days. Three-fifths of a 365-day year gives you 219 workdays per year.
That's a pretty sweet deal he's got going on.
