MICROWRITING

In order for Susan to have 4 xed days when she is going swimming, she needs to go Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. But Monday comes right after Sunday, so she wouldnt have a gap day. Therefore, it is impossible to make a schedule with xed days.She could go swimming every other day, but in 2 weeks, she would go only 7 times instead of 8, as she would want to.
