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
IT WAS SPOKEN ON WEDNESDAY. "WHEN THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW BECOMES YESTERDAY", LET THE DAY BE (A). LET "TWO DAYS AFTER THAT DAY" BE (B). (A) AND (B) ARE TWO DAYS APART AND EQUALLY FAR FROM SUNDAY, SO THEY MUST BE SATURDAY AND MONDAY, MEANING THE ORIGINAL DAY WAS WEDNESDAY
TOMORROW. THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY WAS TWO DAYS AGO; THE DAY AFTER THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY WAS YESTERDAY; TWO DAYS AFTER THAT (YESTERDAY) IS TOMORROW
SATURDAY. IT'S BEST TO WORK BACKWARDS: "SUNDAY'S TOMORROW" IS MONDAY. "THE DAY AFTER SUNDAY'S TOMORROW" IS THEREFORE TUESDAY. "FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE DAY AFTER SUNDAY'S TOMORROW" IS THEREFORE THURSDAY. "YESTERDAY WAS FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE DAY AFTER SUNDAY'S TOMORROW" YESTERDAY WAS THURSDAY, MAKING TODAY FRIDAY. THEREFORE TOMORROW IS SATURDAY.
