Question 1070111: Each year, the date of the Kangaroo competition is the third Thursday of March. What
is the latest possible date of the competition in any year?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If March 8th was a Thursday, the day 7 days before, March 1st, would be the first Thursday in March.
The latest first Thursday of March (or any other month) would be the 7th,
because any Thursday later than the 7th would not be the first one of any month.
Of course, 2 weeks after march 7th, on day number 7%2B2%2A7=21 ,
we would have the third Thursday of March, March highlight%2821st%29 .
