The days of the week repeat in a cycle of 7. To find the day after 61 days, we need to find the number of odd days in this period. We do this by dividing the total number of days by 7 and finding the remainder.
\[ 61 \div 7 \]
\[ 61 = 7 \times 8 + 5 \]
The remainder is 5. This means that the day after 61 days will be 5 days after Wednesday.
Let's count:
Wednesday + 1 day = Thursday
Wednesday + 2 days = Friday
Wednesday + 3 days = Saturday
Wednesday + 4 days = Sunday
Wednesday + 5 days = Monday
Alternatively, 5 days after is the same as 2 days before (since 5-7 = -2). Wednesday - 2 days = Monday.
So, the day will be Monday.
