Calendar reasoning – If the day after tomorrow is Tuesday, what day will it be two days after the day after tomorrow?

Introduction / Context:
This is a straight offset chaining problem. Translate phrases into offsets from today T, then add them consistently. Keeping everything symbolic helps avoid miscounts.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• T + 2 = Tuesday (day after tomorrow).
• We want: two days after (T + 2) = T + 4.

Concept / Approach:
First find T: since T + 2 = Tuesday, T = Sunday. Then compute T + 4 (or compute directly from Tuesday by adding two more days).

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
From the given “day after tomorrow is Tuesday,” simply add two more days: Tuesday → Wednesday → Thursday. Same result.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Wednesday/Monday/Saturday: These correspond to adding the wrong number of days (1, −1, or 5 instead of 2 after Tuesday).
• None of these: A correct option (Thursday) is present.

Common Pitfalls:
Misreading “two days after the day after tomorrow” as “two days after tomorrow.” Always parse nested phrases carefully.

Final Answer:
Thursday
