Stream of consciousness rationale: On Tuesday, Tristan studies twice as long as he did on Monday and this amounts to 4 hours * 2 = 8 hours. So in the first 5 days of the week, he studies for a total of 4 hours Monday + 8 hours Tuesday + 3 hours Wednesday + 3 hours Thursday + 3 hours Friday = 21 hours. He therefore has 25 planned hours 21 used hours = 4 hours left to study. As he splits his time evenly over 2 days, he spends 4 hours / 2 = 2 hours studying on Saturday.
The question and answer pair are described below.
