what day of the week was yesterday if five days before the day after tomorrow was Wednesday

To determine what day of the week was yesterday, we need to solve the given puzzle. The puzzle states that five days before the day after tomorrow was Wednesday.

First, let's find out what day it is today. To do this, we can use the current day of the week. Assuming today is Monday, we can count forward five days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Therefore, if today is Monday, five days from today will be Saturday.

Now, we know that five days before the day after tomorrow was Wednesday. The day after tomorrow from Saturday is Monday. Counting five days back from Monday, we have Wednesday.

Therefore, if today is Monday, yesterday was Wednesday. However, keep in mind that the days could be different depending on the current day of the week.
