Christians had first day of the week as Sabbath, Jews as Seventh and Turks the sixth. How can these 3 have their own true Sabbath on same day?

Can any answerer to this question explain thoroughly to me the solution to this problem as I am not able to understand the solution.

The way the author of the old poser proposed to solve the difficulty was as follows: From the Jew's abode let the Christian and the Turk set out on a tour round the globe, the Christian going due east and the Turk due west. Readers of Edgar Allan Poe's story, Three Sundays in a Week, or of Jules Verne's Round the World in Eighty Days, will know that such a proceeding will result in the Christian's gaining a day and in the Turk's losing a day, so that when they meet again at the house of the Jew their reckoning will agree with his, and all three may keep their Sabbath on the same day. The correctness of this answer, of course, depends on the popular notion as to the definition of a day—the average duration between successive sun-rises. It is an old quibble, and quite sound enough for puzzle purposes. Strictly speaking, the two travellers ought to change their reckonings on passing the 180th meridian; otherwise we have to admit that at the North or South Pole there would only be one Sabbath in seven years.

This is just a guess,
God made the world in six days and he rested on the seventh. That day God rested, he did no work to the world but gazed upon it and He saw that it was Very Good.
Now depending what calendar you use, Monday thru Sunday, with Sunday being the Seventh day makes sense since years ago in some states, nothing was open ( stores Businesses) on Sunday, like you can not purchase motor vehicles from businesses on Sunday in some states. So Sunday must be important enough for most to be called the Sabbath
NOW if you use the calendar as SUNDAY being the first day it still applies
Whether Sunday is the First or the Seventh it is still the Sabbath
I am a Scotsman and cannot speak about the Turks... Any Turks out there?

the Christian Sabbath is not on Sunday. The Old Testament says the Sabbath is on the 7th day. The Christian religion made Sunday "The Lord's Day", but any scholar will tell you that it is not the Sabbath
