1st day of month = Thursday, Tuesday of 1st week = day 6, Tuesday of 2nd week = 6+7 = day 13, Tuesday of 3rd week = 13+7 = day 20, Tuesday of 4th week = 20+7 = day 27 The answer is day 27.

by drawing a calendar with 1st on Thursday, it would be observed that the 4th Tuesday is 27.

"The first of the month falls on a Thursday". Which means Thursday be the 1 s t 1^{st} date of the month, and the first Tuesday would be on 6 t h 6^{th} , which makes the second Tuesday would be on 1 3 t h 13^{th} , which makes the third Tuesday would be on 2 0 t h 20^{th} , and the fourth Tuesday would be 2 7 t h 27^{th} . Thus the answer is 27 27
