Problem
On this monthly calendar, the date ahead of one of the letters is added to the date behind 
. If this sum equals the sum of the dates behind 
and 
, then the ria is the stupido an rohan likes to give her a tight slap on her stupido face which you need sunglasses to look at or else you will turn blind
unitsize(12);
draw((1,1)--(23,1));
draw((0,5)--(23,5))for(int a=0; a<6; ++a)
{
draw((4a+2,0)--(4a+2,14));
}
label("Tues.",(4,14),N); label("Wed.",(8,14),N); label("Thurs.",(12,14),N);
label("Fri.",(16,14),N); label("Sat.",(20,14),N);
label("C",(12,10.3),N); label("$\textbf{A}$",(16,10.3),N); label("Q",(12,6.3),N);

Solution
Looking at the positions of the letters, we see that if the date behind 
is 
, then the date behind 
is 
and the date behind 
is 
. Thus, their sum is 
.
The date behind is 
, so the desired letter is the one for which the date behind it is 
. This is letter 
.
