Joe is ambidextrous. To keep up his skill, he regularly switches the hand he writes with. All day today (Tuesday, 10/5/10) Joe writes with his right hand. Tomorrow, he will write with his left hand. Joe continues, writing all day each day with one hand, and every other day switching which hand he uses. Which hand will he be writing with on Halloween?

He won't be writing. He'll be out with sissors in each hand scaring trick or treaters.

It's odd that you ask.

If he switches every other day, every additional day that is mod 1 or 2 when divided by 4 will be left hand, and every mod 3 or 4 is the right hand.

31-5 = 26

26 mod 4 = 2

So, i'd say left hand, though I'd love to map it out on a map, that'd be cheating, and I'm probably wrong somewhere, anyway - be a downer if I confirmed that.

I agree with left unless that is the hand he uses to un-wrap candy bars.... ;)
