Yesterday Was Tomorrow

Samuel said, “I wish yesterday was tomorrow so that today would be Friday.” What day did Samuel say this on?

Answer

Samuel said this on a Sunday.

Suppose today is Monday. So tomorrow would be Tuesday. The question says “if yesterday was tomorrow”. So it means that Tuesday should be “yesterday”. That is only possible if today is Wednesday.

Similarly, if today is Friday, then tomorrow will be Saturday. But we want “tomorrow” (Saturday) to be “yesterday of some day”. So Saturday would be “yesterday” if the day Samuel spoke was on a Sunday.
