I think the answer might be Thursday, but I’m not completely confident. I wish I had gone over the weekend calculations more thoroughly.

I feel like we did a problem like this in class. If I recall, we just need to add the weekdays and then figure out how many weekends we skip.

If we start on a Tuesday and have 67 workdays, I think we need to skip the weekends, but I can't quite remember how to calculate that correctly.

I remember we practiced a similar question about calculating project timelines, but I'm not sure how to account for the weekends in this one.

Hmm, this one's a bit tricky. Okay, let me think it through. We start on a Tuesday and have 67 days of work left. We don't work on weekends, so that's 5 days per week. 67 days divided by 5 days per week is about 13 weeks. And since we start on a Tuesday, the project will end on a Tuesday.

Alright, let's break this down. The project starts on a Tuesday, and there are 67 days of work left. We don't work on weekends, so that's 5 days per week. 67 days divided by 5 days per week is about 13 weeks. Since we start on a Tuesday, the project will end on a Monday.

Hmm, this one's a bit tricky. I'll need to do some calculations to figure out the day of the week. Let me see, if we start on a Tuesday and have 67 days left, and we don't work on weekends... Okay, I think I've got it. The project will end on a Wednesday.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. We know the project will start on a Tuesday and there are 67 days of work left. If we don't work on weekends, that means we'll have 5 days of work per week. So 67 days divided by 5 days per week is about 13 weeks. Since we start on a Tuesday, the project will end on a Thursday.

Seriously, who even uses Tuesdays as the starting point for a project? That's just asking for trouble. I'm going with C - Monday. It's the only logical answer here.

Tuesday plus 67 days... that's gotta be a Thursday, right? I mean, I'm not great at math, but I think I've got this one figured out.

Wait, wait, wait. If we're starting on a Tuesday and there are 67 days of work, that means we'll be finishing on a Monday. Easy mistake to make, but I'm pretty sure I've got the right answer here.
