Two days before six days after the day before yesterday was Valentines Day. What day is today?

4th?

it is not 4th -

is either 12th, 14th, 16th or March 1st. But I need to know how to get to the right answer. You start back words and get 18th but this one is not one of the choices.

16th feb

16th

To determine the current day based on the given information, we can work backwards using the information provided.

First, let's break down the given information step by step:

1. The day before yesterday: If today is day X, then the day before yesterday is X - 2.

2. Six days after the day before yesterday: This is the day X - 2 plus 6, which is X + 4.

3. Two days before six days after the day before yesterday: We subtract 2 from X + 4, which gives us X + 2.

4. We are told that X + 2 is Valentine's Day.

Now, to find the value of X (the current day), we need to determine what number represents Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is typically on February 14th, which corresponds to the number 14.

Therefore, X + 2 = 14.

To find X, we subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

X + 2 - 2 = 14 - 2

X = 12

Therefore, the current day is 12.
