Justin starts on a Sunday, and gets every ninth day off.
So his days off, counting from Sunday, are always divisible by 9, therefore divisible by 3.
Hannah gets a day off every sixth day from Monday, i.e. every 6n+1 days from Sunday, or <i>never</i> divisible by 3.
Too bad for Justin, he will have to ask her out after work!
