Velma has exactly one week to learn all 71 Japanese hiragana characters. If she can learn at most a dozen of them on any one day and will only have time to learn four of them on Friday, what is the least number of hiragana characters that Velma will have to learn on Saturday?

To minimize the number of hiragana that Velma will have to learn on Saturday, consider the extreme case in which she learns as many hiragana as possible on the other days. She learns 4 on Friday, leaving 71 − 4 = 67 for the other six days of the week. If Velma learns the maximum of 12 hiragana on the other five days (besides Saturday), then she will have 67 − 5(12) = 7 left for Saturday.
