2, right?
Ms. Sue
I just caught a mistake. The baker went to the house on the 12th, not the 13th.
Yes, 2 more times.
Yes, 2 more times.

it should be 3 because they say they meet on the first week so they both meet on the 12th,18th and 24th.

They will meet 3 times after the first week. They will meet on the 13th, 19th and 27th.
