very good , but very easy
...and very confusing
"dude" you are "psycho"; but I guess you have to be to think of that.
An explanation would be nice from anyone who thinks it easy. I actually think its Tuesday but I am having trouble with the "We now shall be able to speak of" bit. Que?
Jimbo, I got the answer as Thursday. Even I was originally confused at that point, but I think I got what it means now. "...the day which we shall now be able to speak of last Monday as a week ago yesterday..." means the day on which you would call current "last Monday" as "a week ago yesterday". So that would be next Tuesday. Using that, we can arrive at the answer of Thursday.
I get Tuesday also.
Upon further review, I must now retract my previous comment. I do get Thursday. A definite brain twister.
THUD What day is it today? Good one!
I think my brain imploded
