Answer 1

Tuesday.

• Let the day today be X
• Then the day "YESTERDAY" is: Y
• Then "THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY" IS: Z

• For calculating "TWO DAYS AFTER THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY" we would do this as:

  • we would take Y as 1st day and X as 2nd day, (we took Y as 1st day and not Z because he said....{focus on the line "........AFTER THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY"}.

• Then he says..(focus on the line)...."TWO DAYS AFTER...." i.e. two days after the 2nd day i.e. 3rd day. Therefore he says about tommorow...i.e. tommorow is WEDNESDAY.

• Therefore the day today is befor wwednesday i.e. TUESDAY.
