    >QUESTION1
    red is 0, therefore the calculation is 0+2 = 2.

    >QUESTION2
    thur is 4 (or it would be if you spelt it correctly ), therefore the calc is ((4 + 5 +2)% 7) = 4
    Also, because you added 7 (5+2) then mod'ed by 7, you'll always end up with what you started.

    That's what I think, at this early hour of the morning

    How did you get to mon for q2?
    When all else fails, read the instructions.

    >((int)(thu + 5)%7)
    thu is still 4, so we have
    >(4 + 5)%7
    which is
    >9%7
    equals 2.
    Therefore the answer is Tuesday.
