Confused? Could my translation of your question pertaining to my answer posed as a question aka Dawn of the Dead actually translate in pig latin as Friday?

Do you suppose the answer could be way different if Jimmy wasn't Jimmy and Freda wasn't Freda but was actually Fred because they might have lied about their identies as well as what they were really doing on the day in question?

would I apologize for not making sure freda was fred or remain politically correct by thinking don't ask don't tell. Or is it better to join Jimmy and Freda (Fred) and lie.

by the way, what's the answer?

Are you suggesting that is what I did and joined them in lying?



........Mon ...Tue ...Wed ... Thu ... Fri ... Sat ...Sun

Jim ..... T ....T .... T.... T.... L.... L ,,,, L....

Freda .....T ....L .... L.... L..... T..... T.... T....


Jim is either telling the truth, or he's lying. If he's telling the
truth today, and he says he lied yesterday, then he must have lied yesterday. On what days can this happen? (That is, on what days does Jim have a T preceded by an L on the previous day?) If you'll look at the table, you'll see that it can happen ONLY on Monday.

If Jim is lying today, and he says he lied yesterday, then he must have told the truth yesterday. On what days can this happen? If you'll look at the table, you'll see that it can happen ONLY on Friday.

Same with Freda, she is either telling the truth, or he's lying. If she's telling the truth today, and she says he lied yesterday, then he must have lied yesterday. When does Freda have a T preceded by an L on the previous day? Friday.

The other case? T and then an L? This happens only on Tuesday.

Therefore, the day you ask about is FRIDAY.
