Bite-sized brain teaser to solve in a minute or less.

 

 

The Day Puzzle

Category: Riddle, Time Puzzle

If three days ago the day after tomorrow was Thursday, what day is it today?

 

 

Solution

Let today be T

Then, three days ago is T – 3

The day after tomorrow (given as Thursday) relative to T – 3 is T – 3 + 2

T – 3 + 2 = T – 1

T – 1 = Thursday

And so, T = Friday

 

Today is Friday.
