Joseph gets married next month. One year ago from the date he will get married, Joseph was in the Hamptons for the 4th of July. What month is it?

July
June
March
May

The correct answer is: June

To determine the correct month, we need to analyze the timing of Joseph's marriage in relation to his experience in the Hamptons last year. If Joseph is set to get married next month, we first need to identify what that implies for the current month. Since he was in the Hamptons for the 4th of July last year—specifically, one year ago from the date of his marriage—it means that the current date is one year later than that experience. For the 4th of July to have occurred a year prior to his wedding next month, the only time frame that makes sense is if he gets married in July. Thus, if we count back one year from July, we land on July of the previous year. Therefore, if he gets married next month which is July, the current month must be June. This connection allows us to see why June is the appropriate answer, as it confirms the timeline: Joseph, getting married in July, reflects on a past 4th of July event only a year before.
