"Tenth of October" should be interchangeable with "October tenth".
Sentence also makes no reference to 週。
It doesn't have to make any reference to 週, since 何曜日 (なんようび) means "what day of the week". Any ~曜日 is a day of the week, not some other kind of day.
Though, i've encountered sentences with the "week kanji", and marked me down for not including it
"What day is the tenth of October" is the same as "What day of the week is the tenth of October".
I dunno, but it's the day I cry myself to sleep after realizing that it's been ten years since Half-Life 2 Episode 2 released and Half Life 3 will never come

I answered the same with "tenth" written out. I'm not a native English speaker, but I hope you can say that. Does someone know?
I think that needs to be either "the tenth of October" or "October tenth".
Ok. What's wrong here: "weekday" it's day of the week, isn't it? I don't get it.
I agree, although they could have got me for misspelling it as "week day" anyway.
My answer was: What day of the week is October the 10th Duolingo says incorrect : what day of the week is October 10th. Please fix these irritating little irrelevancies and maybe focus more on the Japanese than half of it trying to reverse engineer it back into an American English form. In reality all we need to see is “what day is it on October 10th” But of course that is wrong too. The pedantic linguists will go into detail about the difference between 何日 V 何曜日 but it’s unhelpful at this low level of daily conversation. Keep it simple
