Here's a biblical math puzzle for you all:

According to the Bible, God created the world in 6 days, and on the seventh day He rested.

Now, if the seventh day was a Sunday, answer the following questions:

1. What day of the week was the 1st day?
2. What day of the week was the 10th day?
3. What day of the week was the 100th day?
4. What day of the week was the 1,000th day?
5. What day of the week was the 1,000,000th day?

A power of 10 is the digit 1 followed by one or more zeros - e.g. 10; 100; 1,000; 1,000,000; 10,000,000; 1,000,000,000, etc.

6. What was the first "power of ten" to fall on a Sunday?

Just in case you get bored ... <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
