If today were the 20th, and I needed to complete a project by the 27th, how many more days do I have left to work?

Wrong, moron. Get a calculator.
“Today” would basically be the evening of the 20th where you are. If it has to be completed by the 27th, that means you only have six days, not seven like your attempt at a joke was.
No moron, I never said the answer, so there is no correction to make on your behalf.
And it's 7 days, no matter how you try to analyze it. We all know you aren't worth a shit at math. Hell, @Rock98Dog and @big_country90 tried to help you and you still couldn't understand.
Which is why I said “attempt,” moron. Your joke was that you weren’t going to say “7 days” this time.
And no, the answer is still six days. It’s 5 p.m. where you are.
Today until 5 p.m. tomorrow is one day. If you do the math, that means 5 p.m. on the 26th is the end of the sixth day, which means you only have six days before “by the 27th” happens.
Ooooh it’s a Roman versus modern counting convention argument, the best.
If I gave you something on the 20th and said you had one day to get it back to me, what day would you get it back to me by?
But also, you would literally have 8 days to work on it.
Modern counting typically starts at 1 whereas Roman counting started at 0, and we’re still inconsistent about it.

It's not about starting the count at zero or one. It's about considering what a day is.
Pretend it is family porn night at the H&H household. Right after the money shot, you tell the kids that it is time for bed. You look at the clock, and it is 12:01 a.m. Since they just watched an exciting movie and since they have west virginia roots in their family, your children want to sleep in the same room. You tell them "make sure you kids get some rest, because tomorrow we are going to DisneyLand."
Does that mean tomorrow is the day they wake up or the day following the day they wake up since it already is "tomorrow" (12:01 a.m.).
Another example:
Assume it is Friday night at 11:50 p.m. Your wife gives you permission to go to the AVN Awards show that starts at noon on Sunday, but only if you get all your chores done. You contest that it only gives you one day to get all of them done, which isn't realistic. She counters that she is giving you three days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) to get them done before the awards show.
Is it fair to count Friday (10 minutes left) and Sunday (maybe an hour or two before you would need to go to the awards) as two days? Of course not. The same applies to Meg Black's counting.
After that embarrassing encounter you had with banker, I've grown tired of throwing in the towel for you, and too drunk to explain it to you. At one time, maybe back in 2014, I thought you were the only poster that could match up to me on an intellectual level. Nowadays, I have to give your spot to Arche. I actually hate doing this, especially since Arche already has you beat with women, body, and most importantly, hair.
Listen to this shit: 'wype isn't allowed to drive an hour to go to the wvu game tomorrow because his wife is on call. So she may have to work. She may not have to work. But 'wype isn't allowed to go to the game, because she may have to work. The biggest home opener for wvu in about 30 years, and he isn't allowed to go.
Shit like that is mind-boggling to me. "No, honey! You can't go and have fun, because I can't go, so you have to stay here with me even if I have to go work all day!" We are weeks away from a joint Facebook account with those two.
Being a married guy myself with a beautiful wife, one who would also want to take his wife with him to the game, I totally understand his situation. Plus, Arche has to go to Boston in a couple weeks, so standup guy in my opinion. Plus, with his beautiful wife on call, somebody needs to be home to take care of the pets. You don't understand basic life situations, but one day you'll wish you had these situations the rest of us live. It's called normal life, and most of us wouldn't have it any other way. Congratulations to Arche for being a normal husband who has his responsibilities in check.

Please make sure that there is separation between your nuts and his nuts in the freezer. You don't want them freezing together.
It's "normal life" that you're punished and not allowed to do anything just because your wife may have to work? That's the most unhealthy relationship I have ever heard other than when Slumlord Sex Sinner was banging the Hooters waitress on the same sheets that he would let his wife sleep in that night.
When 'wype has to go to Boston, I hope his wife knows she is not allowed to do anything fun! No leaving the house! No smiling. No watching anything good on television. If 'wype can't be there to also enjoy it, then dammit, nobody is allowed to have fun!
That’s the thing! He’s not doing anything for her in this situation. He’s just not allowed to have fun unless he also gets to have the fun.
In a healthy relationship, one partner isn’t telling the other that they can’t have fun just because the other person isn’t able to attend. That’s not healthy.
When he goes to Boston for work in a month or five (which he makes a point to tell Facebook), he won’t be allowed to do anything non-work related. He better get his ass back to the hotel room and FaceTime! See the historic areas, walk Harvard, or visit Fenway? Not a chance! Have a nice dinner with coworkers? Only if you get your ass to the hotel no later than 7 p.m.!
That's exactly what I did a couple weeks back, except I had to get back to my suite by 6 o'clock to call the wife, due to the time zone difference. After we traded lovey dovies, I went back to the canal area and watched lots of crotch. Reminded me of the days/evenings on the Kalamazoo mall watching the coeds.

I’m not sure where this argument originated, but if, on the day you begin counting, you use the exact same time as the day you finish counting, it’s sevens days.
Today is September 1st, just before 1 pm. Let’s call it 1 pm. If something is due Sunday, September 8th at 1 pm, you would have 7 total days to turn it in. That’s seven, 24 hour days.
So, if you start something on the 20th and it’s due on the 27th, I don’t see how it can be anything less than seven days if the times are the same. If the times are slightly off, you might be able to argue 6.5 days or even 7.5 days. But I don’t know how you get just six days out of that.
