Is the answer Thursday? Remember that the same date every subsequent year follows on the day after. i.e. friday on 25th June this year will be saturday on 25th June next year. 365 days between two dates. 364 is divisible by 7 and 365 leaves a remainder of 1. So the next year has to be +1. For a leap year, remainder = 2. So the using that;

Friday - 82
Saturday - 83
Monday - 84
Tuesday - 85
Wednesday - 86
Thursday - 87

Good logic but the Answer is Tuesday.
