- >>> If today is Friday, what days of the week are the day after the day after tomorrow, and the day before the day before yesterday?
- <think>
- Okay, let's see. The problem says, "If today is Friday, what days of the week are the day after the day after tomorrow, and the
- day before the day before yesterday?" Hmm, I need to figure out these two days. Let me break it down step by step.
- First, let me confirm today's day. It's given as Friday. So, let's note that down:
- - Today: Friday
- Now, the question has two parts. Let me tackle them one by one.
- **First part: The day after the day after tomorrow.**
- Let me parse that. "The day after the day after tomorrow." So, starting from today, let's figure out what "tomorrow" is. If
- today is Friday, then tomorrow is Saturday. Then, the day after tomorrow would be Sunday. Wait, but the question says "the day
- after the day after tomorrow." So, first, the day after tomorrow is Sunday, and then the day after that would be Monday? Wait,
- let me check again.
- Wait, maybe I should think of it as: "day after [day after tomorrow]". So, "day after tomorrow" is two days from today. So, if
- today is Friday, then tomorrow is Saturday (1 day ahead), day after tomorrow is Sunday (2 days ahead). Then, the day after that
- (the day after the day after tomorrow) would be Monday. So, that's 3 days from today. So, Friday + 3 days is Monday. Let me
- confirm:
- - Friday (today)
- - Saturday (tomorrow)
- - Sunday (day after tomorrow)
- - Monday (day after the day after tomorrow)
- Yes, that seems right. So the first part is Monday.
- **Second part: The day before the day before yesterday.**
- Okay, let's parse that. "The day before the day before yesterday." So, starting from today, "yesterday" is Thursday. Then, the
- day before yesterday would be Wednesday. Then, the day before that (the day before the day before yesterday) would be Tuesday.
- Let me check again.
- Alternatively, maybe breaking it down step by step:
- - Today: Friday
- - Yesterday: Thursday
- - Day before yesterday: Wednesday
- - Day before the day before yesterday: Tuesday
- Yes, that seems correct. So, the day before the day before yesterday is Tuesday.
- Wait, let me make sure I didn't mix up the order. The phrase is "the day before the day before yesterday." So, the "day before
- yesterday" is Wednesday, so "the day before [day before yesterday]" is Tuesday. Correct.
- Alternatively, another way to think about it is: "day before yesterday" is two days before today. So, two days before Friday is
- Wednesday. Then, the day before that is Tuesday. So, that's consistent.
- So, putting it all together:
- - The day after the day after tomorrow is Monday.
- - The day before the day before yesterday is Tuesday.
- Wait, but let me check again to be absolutely sure. Sometimes with these time phrases, it's easy to get confused.
- For the first part:
- - Day after the day after tomorrow.
- Let me think of "the day after tomorrow" as +2 days. Then, "the day after [that]" is +3 days. So, Friday + 3 days is Monday.
- Correct.
- For the second part:
- - "The day before the day before yesterday."
- "Day before yesterday" is -2 days. Then, "the day before [that]" is -3 days. So, Friday - 3 days is Tuesday. Correct.
- Yes, that seems to check out. Let me just list the days of the week to visualize:
- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
- If today is Friday, then:
- - Tomorrow: Saturday
- - Day after tomorrow: Sunday
- - Day after that (the day after the day after tomorrow): Monday
- For the other part:
- - Yesterday: Thursday
- - Day before yesterday: Wednesday
- - Day before that (the day before the day before yesterday): Tuesday
- Yes, that's correct. So the two days are Monday and Tuesday.
- I think that's it. I don't see any mistakes in my reasoning. Let me just confirm once more with another approach.
- Another way to think about it is using modular arithmetic. Let's assign numbers to days, where Friday is 0, Saturday is 1,
- Sunday is 2, Monday is 3, Tuesday is 4, Wednesday is 5, Thursday is 6. Wait, but sometimes people start with Monday as 0 or
- Sunday. Maybe better to assign numbers in order:
- Let me assign:
- 0: Friday
- 1: Saturday
- 2: Sunday
- 3: Monday
- 4: Tuesday
- 5: Wednesday
- 6: Thursday
- But actually, it's arbitrary, but let's stick with this.
- So, today is 0 (Friday).
- First part: day after the day after tomorrow.
- "Tomorrow" is 1 (Saturday). "Day after tomorrow" is 2 (Sunday). Then, the day after that is 3 (Monday). So, 3 corresponds to
- Monday. Correct.
- Second part: day before the day before yesterday.
- "Yesterday" is -1 (Thursday). "Day before yesterday" is -2 (Wednesday). Then, the day before that is -3. But since we are
- working modulo 7, -3 is equivalent to 4 (since 7 - 3 = 4). Which is Tuesday. So, 4 corresponds to Tuesday. Correct.
- So, using modular arithmetic, the answers are Monday and Tuesday.
- Therefore, I can be confident that the answers are Monday and Tuesday.
- **Final Answer**
- The day after the day after tomorrow is \boxed{Monday} and the day before the day before yesterday is \boxed{Tuesday}.
- </think>
- To determine the days of the week in question, we start by identifying today as **Friday**.
- ---
- ### 1. **The day after the day after tomorrow**
- Let's break this down step by step:
- - **Tomorrow** is **Saturday** (1 day after Friday).
- - **The day after tomorrow** is **Sunday** (2 days after Friday).
- - **The day after that** (i.e., the day after the day after tomorrow) is **Monday** (3 days after Friday).
- So, the day after the day after tomorrow is **Monday**.
- ---
- ### 2. **The day before the day before yesterday**
- Again, breaking it down:
- - **Yesterday** was **Thursday** (1 day before Friday).
- - **The day before yesterday** was **Wednesday** (2 days before Friday).
- - **The day before that** (i.e., the day before the day before yesterday) is **Tuesday** (3 days before Friday).
- Thus, the day before the day before yesterday is **Tuesday**.
- ---
- ### Final Answer:
- - The day after the day after tomorrow is \boxed{Monday}
- - The day before the day before yesterday is \boxed{Tuesday}
