Today HAS to be SUNDAY. The day before two days after Sunday is Monday. Two days after sunday is tuesday. The day before Tuesday is monday.
for the math guy: Tomorrow -1 -1 + 2 = Monday --> Tomorrow = monday. You were close with your equation, but you forgot to reverse the +/-'s when solving for your uknown.
oh and statement C doesn't tell you by itself what the answer is, it is just one of the string of 3 statements.

2 days after the day before tomorrow = monday
tomorrow is monday, the day before is sunday. 2 days after sunday is tuesday and 1 day back monday.
so today has to be sunday. The beginning part was all mumbo jumbo.. "the day before tomorrow is monday".. what else would that be?? SUNDAY!
so i agree with person above

The problem I guess I'm having is because I read it as "TODAY" is the day before tomorrow gets here. Since TODAY is the day before tomorrow, it also states that that date is Monday. It sounds like it's making a statement about a current condition (Today IS the day before tomorrow).
The way it looks like some are reading it is that the day before "tomorrow becomes Monday" that would mean today is Sunday.
I think it's how do people interpret this statement that is the confusing part. Is this statement about a "future" condition or a "current" condition. Depending on how you read it you'll come to a different answer...
Oh never mind... I guess I'll just drink a lot of beer at Thxgiving then it will allll be clear to me.

A. If the day before (- 1 (take a day from statement “B”))
B. two days after (+2 (added two days to statement “C”)
C. the day before(-1day) tomorrow(+1day) = today (is Monday)
Adding statements A, B and C:
-1day+2days+today=+1day
The “math” leads you to add a day to come to your answer (which would be Tuesday) but "statement C" already told you today is Monday so there is a conflict between the math and the statements…
Today can’t be today and +1 day (tomorrow) at the same time which is why this equation is nonsense.
