Alright already!
I really wondered why you just didn't pick up a calendar and work the problem yourself.
Here's what you're asked:
"What day would yesterday be if Wednesday was five days before the day after tomorrow?"
To figure yesterday it might help to know today.
Wednesday appears to be the key to this problem.
The day after tomorrow is two days from now. Wednesday was five days before that, therefore it was three days ago. Therefore today is Saturday and yesterday was Friday.
Verify my reasoning. These ones are easy to mess up.
Friday is right!
To solve this riddle, you need to focus on the given information and work step by step.
1. "Wednesday was five days before the day after tomorrow."
Let's break this down:
- The day after tomorrow is two days from now. So, we can call it Day X+2.
- Wednesday was five days before that. So, we can call it Day (X+2) - 5.
2. "What day would yesterday be?"
To determine yesterday, we need to know the current day (today). Let's call it Day X.
Now, let's put it all together:
- Day X+2 is the day after tomorrow.
- Wednesday is five days before Day X+2, which means it is (X+2) - 5.
- Yesterday is Day X.
By following this logic, we can figure out the answer:
If (X+2) - 5 is Wednesday, then X+2 = Wednesday + 5.
So, X+2 = Wednesday + 5 = (X+2) - 5 + 5.
Simplifying the equation, we get X+2 = X+2.
This means that X represents any day of the week.
Therefore, yesterday's day X would be the answer to the riddle. Without knowing the specific value of X, we cannot determine the exact day yesterday would be.
To solve the riddle, we need to work backward from the given information:
1. The day after tomorrow is two days from now.
2. Wednesday was five days before the day after tomorrow.
Let's break it down step-by-step:
Step 1: Determine the day we are currently on.
The day after tomorrow is two days from now, so we count two days forward. If today is X, then the day after tomorrow is X + 2.
Step 2: Determine the day that was five days before the day after tomorrow.
If X + 2 represents the day after tomorrow, then five days before that would be X + 2 - 5.
Step 3: Deduce the day that was yesterday.
To find what day yesterday would be, we need to determine the day before the day after tomorrow, which is X + 2 - 5 - 1.
Now, let's put it into practice:
Step 1: Determine the day we are currently on.
Let's assume today is Monday.
Step 2: Determine the day that was five days before the day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow would be Wednesday (Monday + 2 = Wednesday), so five days before that would be Thursday (Wednesday - 5 = Thursday).
Step 3: Deduce the day that was yesterday.
The day before Thursday would be Wednesday (Thursday - 1 = Wednesday).
So, if today is Monday, then yesterday would be Wednesday.
However, it seems that my previous response was incorrect. Let's try again:
Step 1: Determine the day we are currently on.
Let's assume today is Sunday.
Step 2: Determine the day that was five days before the day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow would be Tuesday (Sunday + 2 = Tuesday), so five days before that would be Wednesday (Tuesday - 5 = Wednesday).
Step 3: Deduce the day that was yesterday.
The day before Wednesday would be Tuesday (Wednesday - 1 = Tuesday).
So, if today is Sunday, then yesterday would be Tuesday.
Please note that the answer may vary depending on the current day of the week when approaching this riddle.
