Buzz showed up for work on Monday only to discover that his delivery truck was in the shop for maintenance. He was told that it would be ready two days after the day before the day after tomorrow. On what day can Buzz expect to be back on the road in his truck. I believe these riddles pertain particularly to the state of Nevada ?

The day before two days after the day before tomorrow is Monday. What day is it today ?
the day before = -1 day two days after = + 2 days the day before = -1 day tomorrow = + 1 day sum = + 1 day. translate original phrase to (in +1 days, it is monday). today is sunday.

Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

two days after the day before the day after tomorrow.
two days after = +2 the day before = -1 the day after = +1 tomorrow = +1 ======================= total = +3 today is monday, so the truck will be ready thursday.
Who should be more insulted
that depends on how much you like New Jersey, Iowa, or the midwest.
