Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The operator's schedule repeats every 14 days (5 days of day shift + 3 days of evening shift + 2 days of day shift + 4 days of evening shift). 75 days from now falls into the cycle that starts 75 % 14 = 5 days into a new cycle. Since the first 5 days are day shifts, and the 5th day is the last day shift before it switches to evening shifts, the next day (which is what we're considering, 75 days from now) would be the first day of the evening shift.
