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
