US Version

Don't get confused by the big numbers. Try to break it down into a familiar quantity. For example, if seven days after 14 days ago is Wednesday, what day is today?

UK Version

If you think in terms of big numbers, you'll get confused, so try thinking in terms of smaller numbers.

For example, if seven days after 14 days ago is Wednesday, what day is today?

US Version

Seven days after 70 days ago is the same day as nine weeks ago. If that day was a Sunday, what day is today?

UK Version

Seven days after 70 days ago is nine weeks ago. So if that day was a Sunday, what day would it be today?

US Version

Seven days before 70 days from now is the same day of the week as seven days after 70 days ago. If today is Sunday, all this puzzle is asking you is what day of the week it will be nine weeks from today. Pretty simple, eh?

UK Version

The thinking is the same for seven days before 70 days from now. Today is a Sunday, and the question is asking which day it will be nine weeks from today.

Now you get it, right?

US Version

If you know what day of the week it is, you'll always know what day is X weeks before or X weeks after because it will always be the same day!

UK Version

If you which day of the week it is, then you know which day it is "X weeks before" or "X weeks after".

It's the same day as today.


Solution

Incorrect

US Version

Too bad!

Don't let the big numbers trip you up.

UK Version

Too bad.

Don't let the numbers confuse you.

Correct

US Version

That's it!

Sunday is correct.

One week is seven days, so if you're ever asked what day was X days ago or what day is X days from today, as long as X is divisible by seven, the answer will always be the same day as today!

UK Version

That's right!

Sunday.
One week is seven days. If you're asked "What day was it X days ago?" or "What day will it be X days from today?" and X is divisible by seven, then you know that it will be the same day as today.
