What Day Follows

What day follows the day before yesterday if two days from now will be Sunday?

Answer

Thursday.

The key is to realize that “now” must be Friday. In the phrase “Two days from now will be Sunday,” you can see that now must be Friday, since two days from Friday is Sunday.

Now look at the phrase “the day before yesterday.” Yesterday is Thursday since now (today) is Friday. “The day before yesterday” is Wednesday, and the “day that follows the day before yesterday” is Thursday.
