Question: "Local Yokel" by H.E. Dudeney
A stranger out walking came across a local yokel [rural resident] sitting on a wall. He wanted to ask him directions but thought he would [first] test out the yokel's intelligence by asking him a simple question.
"What day of the week is it, my good man?" asked the stranger.
Without hesitation, the yokel gave the following answer:
"When the day after tomorrow is yesterday, today will be as far from Sunday as today was from Sunday when the day before yesterday was tomorrow."
What day of the week was it?
