The answer is Monday because of the "statements" but Tuesday by the "math".
If the day before two days after the day before tomorrow is Monday, what day is today?
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.
