What is today if the day before two days after the day before tomorrow is Saturday?

I'll admit, it's only confusing if don't read it correctly.

**edit in bold.

**adunnyByday** · 02-25-2010, 10:37 AM

Today is wednesday, at least where I am.

**OrefZorremn** · 02-25-2010, 10:38 AM

Today is wednesday, at least where I am.

While correct, that isn't the answer to the riddle.

**adunnyByday** · 02-25-2010, 10:39 AM

While correct, that isn't the answer to the riddle.

If that's not the answer to the riddle, then the riddle is wrong.

The day before two days after the day before tomorrow is Saturday. What day is today?

I'll admit, it's only confusing if don't read it correctly.

Saturday. " the day before tomorrow is Saturday. What day is today?"

**OrefZorremn** · 02-25-2010, 10:41 AM

If that's not the answer to the riddle, then the riddle is wrong.

I see.

Saturday. " the day before tomorrow is Saturday. What day is today?"

Nope, try again.

I'll add one word to make this easier for the people who take things so literal. =P

Saturday. " the day before tomorrow is Saturday. What day is today?"

The day before two days after [the day before tomorrow] is Saturday. What day is today?
The day before two days after today is Saturday. What day is today?
[The day before two days after] today is Saturday. What day is today?
[one day after today] is Saturday. What day is today?
tomorrow is Saturday. What day is today?
Today is friday.

**BenWired306** · 02-25-2010, 10:42 AM

Sunday?

**OrefZorremn** · 02-25-2010, 10:43 AM

Sunday?

Nope..

**engideNedmupe** · 02-25-2010, 10:44 AM

Saturday.

EDIT:

Like that song, two steps forward and one step back.

**adunnyByday** · 02-25-2010, 10:46 AM

Please note that my previous answer is indeed a false statement. The question should be written as such

Given any day of the week n, the day before two days after the day before the day after n is Saturday. What day is n?

**huntbytnkbel** · 02-25-2010, 10:47 AM

Today is friday.

Yea, thats right.

**blankostaroe** · 02-25-2010, 10:48 AM

The day before two days after [the day before tomorrow] is Saturday. What day is today?
The day before two days after today is Saturday. What day is today?
[The day before two days after] today is Saturday. What day is today?
[one day after today] is Saturday. What day is today?
tomorrow is Saturday. What day is today?
Today is friday.

I think friday too.

the day before tomorrow = today
the day before two days after = tomorrow
today's tomorrow is saturday, so today is friday.

Just did a google search and found the same riddle being answered as factual 2 different ways. Both as friday and saturday. So, before chiming in as whats right or wrong, can you please break it down to prove the right answer?

I was told I was correct when I answered Friday. My logic agreed with what Thesh posted.

I did not Google it to find the answer, so I didn't know it could be correctly answered as Saturday.

By that, it's +1 day. If Saturday is that +1, it would be the day before Saturday.

I know it's worded oddly. I'll make it EVEN BETTER.

I was passing on a fun little riddle that I heard today because I was bored. Sorry I tried to defend it to somehow meet your requirements for a "logical riddle." I wasn't aware anyone was acting "smug," so I'm not sure how that comic applies.

Apples.
