Jim tells lies on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, but tells the truth on all other days. Freda tells lies on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and tells the truth on all other days. If they both both say "Yesterday I lied", then what is today? ...?

Verified Answer :

Today is Friday because 1. Freda lies on Thursdays so she is telling the truth when she says it and 2. Jim lies on Fridays so he is lying when he says it.

As per the details provided, the day that falls today when Jim and Freda together say 'Yesterday I lied' would be:

- Friday

  • The reason for today being Friday is that Jim and Freda both can not speak the truth or lie on the same day.
  • It implies that they both speak the truth or lie on alternate days. So, when they say that 'Yesterday I lied,' it implies that Jim is lying while Freda is telling the truth.
  • This is because Freda lies on Thursdays but Jim lies on Fridays and therefore, this makes the conclusion correct.

Thus, 'Friday' is the correct answer.
