Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the manager gets a weekend off every 8 weeks and has already worked 6 weekends, the next weekend off will be after 2 more weeks (completing an 8-week cycle). From this point, every 8th week will be a weekend off. Starting from week 49, we add the 2 weeks needed to reach the next off weekend, totaling 51 weeks. However, since we start counting from this week (week 0), the first weekend off after 49 weeks is in week 50.
