TODAY IS FRIDAY. THREE DAYS BEFORE WEDNESDAY IS SUNDAY. IF THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW IS SUNDAY, THEN TODAY IS FRIDAY SUNDAY. WHEN THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW IS YESTERDAY, TODAY WILL BE THREE DAYS HENCE, JUST AS WHEN THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY WAS TOMORROW CARRIES US BACK THREE DAYS FROM NOW, WHICH MUST BE SUNDAY, TO BE MIDWAY BETWEEN THE TWO "TODAYS". ALTERNATIVELY, WE CAN REPHRASE THE RIDDLE TO: IN 3 DAYS WE WILL BE AS FAR FROM SUNDAY AS WE WERE FROM SUNDAY 3 DAYS AGO SUNDAY IS THE ONLY DAY THAT SATISFIES THAT 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
