CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Days left in August after the 15th: $31 - 15 = 16$ .
Add all 30 days of September and 2 days of October: $16 + 30 + 2 = 48$ days.
$48 = 6 \times 7 + 6$ , so move 6 days on from Friday: Thursday.

Worth noting

Wednesday comes from giving August 30 days or counting 47 days. August has 31 days.

Concept: Day of the week of a later date in the same year
