THURSDAY. LET'S BREAK IT DOWN: "TODAY WILL BE AS FAR FROM WEDNESDAY AS TODAY WAS FROM WEDNESDAY" MEANS TODAY IS WEDNESDAY. "WHEN THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW IS YESTERDAY" REFERS TO FRIDAY AND TUESDAY RESPECTIVELY. "THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY WAS TOMORROW" REFERS TO MONDAY AND THURSDAY RESPECTIVELY. SO TOMORROW IS THURSDAY
THEY ARGUED ON A SUNDAY. THE TABLE BELOW SUMMARISES THE EVENT. 'X' INDICATE THE POSSIBLE DAYS IF THAT PERSON'S STATEMENT IS TRUE. THE ONLY COLUMN WITH A SINGLE 'X' IS ON SUNDAY, THEREFORE D IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS CORRECT. DAY / PERSONMONTUEWEDTHURFRISATSUN AX BX CX DXXXX EX FX GXXXXXX
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
MONDAY. LET'S WORK BACKWARDS, IF TODAY IS SATURDAY, TOMORROW WOULD BE SUNDAY. WE CAN NOW REPHRASE THE QUESTION: "IF YESTERDAY (SUNDAY) WAS TOMORROW (SUNDAY), TODAY WOULD BE A SATURDAY." IF YESTERDAY IS SUNDAY, TODAY IS MONDAY
