If Jesus was crucified on Wednesday and buried, and Thursday was the day of rest being the 1st day of the feast of unleavened bread, then the first opportunity for the women to anoint Jesus' body is Friday. But they didn't go to Jesus' tomb until the first day of the week (Sunday).
I think of the expression 3 days and 3 nights to mean 3 days and nights, as opposed to 3 days, and excluding the nights. It's like the difference between Jesus fasting 40 days and 40 nights vs. Muslims fasting during the month of Ramadan but eating at night. I don't think it needs to mean 72 hours.
Matthew 27:62 talks about "the next day" and Matthew 27:64 talks about "the third day".
Cleopas said on the road to Emmaus to the risen Jesus that it was the third day since Jesus was crucified (Luke 24:21)

Arrested and taken to the temple mount on what we call Thursday night after midnight. Ascended from the temple mount after meeting Mary Magdalene on Sunday morning.
Thursday part night + Friday night + Saturday night = 3 nights by Jewish inclusive reckoning (reckoning a part as a whole).
Friday day + Saturday day + Sunday part day = 3 days by Jewish inclusive reckoning.

Plus the weekly sabbath.
three sabbaths in the Paschal week, the two written here in Leviticus are the 'high' sabbaths.
Christ ate Seder on a Tuesday, and was crucified on a Wednesday, at exactly the time the national passover lamb was slain in the temple. He rose on the third day, in the night, in the beginning of an 8th day, Firstfruits, which is not a sabbath.
the women came to look for Him as dawn was rising, but the angel told them The Daystar had already risen.
likely times for His rising up and folding His face cloth are midnight and 3am - reccomended if you're into origami

According to Jewish laws, burials had to be before sundown, IIRC. That is why they broke the legs of crucified people, so they would die before sundown.
So the day of his crucifixion should count as one day in the grave.
Thursday crucifixion works, time wise, I think. Thurs, Fri, Sat... three days in the grave. Jesus rose before sunup on Sunday.

Yes, the Jews customarily must put a body in the tomb before sundown
No, He wasn't in the grave the whole day Wednesday.
And so also He didn't rise immediately at sunset on Sunday ((Saturday night, gentile time)) - -
-- God is really good at math. He invented it. He said 3 nights, 3 days
this is why a 3am Sunday resurrection is not a bad guess

the idea that 10 seconds of a day equals a whole day, isn't a particularly good idea.
question:
question:
- was Christ entombed at exactly sunset, to the smallest possible fraction of a nanosecond? As omniscient God measures infinitely small fractions of nanosecond?
- what determines exact sundown? when the last photon leaves the sun, when that photon hits the earth, when that photon is reflected and hits the eye of someone in Jerusalem?
- Who can answer these questions? you? or only God?

does that count as a day?
((you say))
Who can measure that?
Heisenburg?
lol. OK so where was Jesus?
