If the day after the day after tomorrow is three days before Friday, then today is
The easiest way to solve this is to work backward from the end of the sentence.
1. Identify the Target Day: - The sentence mentions a day that is "three days before Friday".
- Counting back from Friday: Thursday (1), Wednesday (2), Tuesday (3).
- So, the target day is a Tuesday.
2. Understand the Relative Day: - This target day (Tuesday) is equal to "the day after the day after tomorrow".
- Let's break that down relative to "Today":
- Tomorrow = Today + 1 day
- Day after tomorrow = Today + 2 days
- The day after the day after tomorrow = Today + 3 days.
3. Find "Today": - We have established that (Today + 3 days) = Tuesday.
- To find "Today", we must count 3 days back from Tuesday.
- Counting back from Tuesday: Monday (1), Sunday (2), Saturday (3).
Final Answer: Today is Saturday.
