~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


(1a) What day of the week will it be 25 days from now?

      Then  the  7-th day from now is Friday, again;

            the 14-th day from now is Friday, again;

            the 21-th day from now is Friday, again;

            the 22-th day is Saturday; the 23-th day is Sunday; the 24-th day is Monday 

       and  the 25-th day is Tuesday.    <<<---===  ANSWER


(1b) What day of the week was it 32 days ago?

      Then  the  7-th day ago was Friday, again;

            the 14-th day ago was Friday, again;

            the 21-th day ago was Friday, again;

            the 28-th day ago was Friday, again;

            the 29-th day ago was Thursday; the 30-th day ago was Wednesday; the 31-th day ago was Tuesday 

       and  the 32-th day ago was Monday.    <<<---===  ANSWER


(2) Valentine's Day (Feb. 14) fell on Tuesday in 2017. On what day of the week will Valentine's Day fall in 2032 ?

         Let's forget about leap years - we will count them later.
         So, let's count 365 days per year.


         Notice that a 365-days year is 52 weeks PLUS 1 day.


     Counting this way, in 7 years from Feb.14,2017, i.e. Feb.14, 1024, it would be Tuesday, again 
     (seven fractional parts of a seven days week will produce a multiple of '7').


     Continuing counting this way, in 7 years from Feb.14,2024, i.e. Feb.14, 1031, it would be Tuesday, again 
     (seven fractional parts of a seven days week will produce a multiple of '7').


     Counting this way, the day Fab.14,2032 would be Wednesday.


     Now we should count leap years 2020, 2024, 2028. They give 3 days to add to Wednesday.

     By adding these 3 days, we obtain Saturday.


     So, the Valentine's day  Feb.14,2032 should be Saturday.    <<<---===  ANSWER

Solved. All 3 questions are answered.
