A month with <math>31</math> days has the same number of Mondays and Wednesdays. How many of the seven days of the week could be the first day of this month?
 
<math>\textbf{(A)}\ 2 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 3 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 4 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 5 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 6</math>
 
==Solution==
In this month there are four weeks and three remaining days. As long as the last three days and the first four days have the same number of Mondays and Wednesdays, then it works. The number of days the month can start on is <math>\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 3}</math>
