The day before 2 days after the day before tommorrow is Saturday. What is today?
I can't figure it out even when I know the answer -- I hate f*ckin' riddles.
It's Friday
The day before tomorrow is today. So the day before two days after tomoday is tomorrow. If tomorrow is Saturday, then today is Friday
(although it's actually thursday, here).
aM i putting too much thought into it? Is the answer perhaps whatever day today happens to be when you do the puzzle?

This riddle had me confused. So, I looked for an answer and I found a site that explained it. Even after reading the explanation, I was still confused.
If I remember correctly, they had the answer as Wednesday.
Tufdevil has it right. Another way to look at is:
"The day before 2 days after" becomes "The day after" leaving:
The day after the day before tomorrow is Saturday.
"The day after the day before" cancels itself leaving:
Tomorrow is Saturday.
Therefore, today is Friday.
