Problem

Chris' birthday is on a Thursday this year. What day of the week will it be $60$ days after her birthday?

$\text{(A)}\ \text{Monday} \qquad \text{(B)}\ \text{Wednesday} \qquad \text{(C)}\ \text{Thursday} \qquad \text{(D)}\ \text{Friday} \qquad \text{(E)}\ \text{Saturday}$

Solution

7 days after her birthday would be a Thursday, as would 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, and 56. Therefore the 60th would be four days after a Thursday, which is a $Monday\Rightarrow \mathrm{(A)}$.
