The eye doctor is closed on Saturday.
The "Sweaty Chef" kebab shop is closed on Thursday and Friday.
On what day did Mad Ade go to town?

On what day did Mad Ade go to town?
Answer
Tuesday.Solution:
Since Mad Ade returned with more money that he left with, he must have
gone on a day when the bank was open. So he must have gone on
Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday. But, he got his eyes tested, and
since the eye doctor is closed on Saturday, it couldn't have been
Saturday. He also went to the "Sweaty Chef" which is closed Thursday and
Friday, so that eliminates Thursday, so it must have been a
Tuesday when that Mad Ade went to town.
