Wouldn’t Saturday be the seventh cycle, given it is the end of the week?
- JadeNB 3y ago> Wouldn’t Saturday be the seventh cycle, given it is the end of the week? Every 7th cycle would be the start of the week; the 6th cycle would be the end. (Think, for example, if you had a 2-day week; the 1st cycle would take you to the 2nd day.) But when the week starts is not universally agreed—I believe USians usually start it on Sunday, and Europeans usually start it on Monday.
- ianburrell 3y agoThere are seven day weeks, the 1st to 7th. The 8th day is the start of the next week. The 1st cycle is the 1st day.
