Calendar / relative days: If the day before yesterday was Sunday, what day will it be three days after the day after tomorrow?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Sunday

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Classic relative-day arithmetic: translate the anchor into “today,” then walk forward.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Day before yesterday = Sunday ⇒ Today = Tuesday.


Concept / Approach:
Compute day after tomorrow (Today + 2), then add 3 more days.



Step-by-Step Solution:

Today = Tuesday.Day after tomorrow = Thursday.Three days after that = Sunday.


Verification / Alternative check:
Sequence: Tue → Thu (after tomorrow) → Fri (+1) → Sat (+2) → Sun (+3).



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Each corresponds to a misstep in the offset chain.



Common Pitfalls:
Forgetting that “day after tomorrow” already moves two days forward before adding three more.



Final Answer:
Sunday
