Let's break down the statement step by step:
-
Identify "yesterday":
- If 4 days before yesterday was January 4th, we can find "yesterday" first.
- Four days after January 4th is January 8th.
- So, "yesterday" is January 8th.
-
Finding today's date:
- If yesterday was January 8th, then today is January 9th.
Therefore, the date today is January 9th.
