The day after the day after tomorrow is four days before Monday. What day is it today?

Answer: Monday
Explanation
Let's break it down:
"Four days before Monday" would be Thursday (Monday -> Sunday -> Saturday -> Friday -> Thursday).
"The day after the day after tomorrow is Thursday":
  • Tomorrow is one day ahead.
  • The day after tomorrow is two days ahead.
  • The day after the day after tomorrow is three days ahead.
