Explanation:

Step1: Identify Tuesdays in August

Look at the August 2024 calendar. The "Tues" column has dates: 6, 13, 20, 27.

Step2: Analyze the problem

The problem says "later in the month" but doesn't give more specific info (like which week). So we check all Tuesdays: 6 (1st Tue), 13 (2nd), 20 (3rd), 27 (4th). Since "later" is vague, it could be any of these.

Answer:

No. It could have happened on the 6th, 13th, 20th, or 27th.
