Question

Two days after four days before yesterday was January 4th . What is the date today?

Answer 1

Let's solve the problem step by step.

1. **Identify "yesterday":**
- We know that "yesterday" is the day before today.

2. **Find "four days before yesterday":**
- If yesterday is \(X\), then four days before yesterday is \(X - 4\).

3. **Find "two days after four days before yesterday":**
- Two days after \(X - 4\) is \(X - 4 + 2 = X - 2\).

4. **According to the problem:**
- We have \(X - 2\) = January 4th.

5. **Solve for \(X\):**
- Adding 2 days to January 4th gives us:
\[
X = \text{January 4th} + 2 \text{ days} = \text{January 6th}.
\]

So, today is **January 6th**.
